Any question answered...

let me put it another way, I had 32 teeth when I was born now I have 26 teeth, I am missing 6 teeth but they are still my teeth, same goes for the 48 chain ring the teeth are missing but it is now a 47.
How can you not see this? !!!!

If you're so convinced you're right despite everyone (with lots of experience) saying no then either decide that you were right all along and we're a useless source of knowledge or accept that maybe you're wrong.

Have a nice day:-)
