So to deal with spinning out I fancy getting some more teeth on my chainring. I'm currently running 42-16, can I jump to 48-16? I figure this should be fairly subtle...
To accomplish this is it as simple as buying a 48t chainring and just bunging it on?
And once this has been done how do you assess the new chain length? I reckon I can get this done myself so if I can avoid paying the LBS so much the better...
