i've read all of sheldon brown but my maths is terrible. should i use my 50 or 36 tooth chainring for a single-speed conversion with a 16 tooth sprocket? i know around 42 is ideal but i cant afford a new chainring.
i'm not super fit so i'm drawn to the 36 but i also hate frustratingly low gear, obvs.
thoughts anyone?
