as ive said id rather not change the front chainring as it means a whole new crank and BB, which i cant really afford. im pretty low on funds and spend whatever is left over from life costs on bikes.
i might just get a 12-26, and maybe try to get a few bigger sprokets for the hills. 52x26 works out at 54gi, which should be alot easier up hills than the 70gi im used to.
Alc- do you have that old 12-26 hanging about and be willing to sell to moi?
i could also get another 48t maxy if i find more money, as they are pretty cheap. what casette gearing would you recommend there?
im very unexperienced when it comes to geared bikes, ive pretty much always ridden bikes without them!
