    I'm running 52/20 at the moment and its a it slow on the flat and spiny down hill, anyone got a 19t cog they'd part with? Would also consider a couple of weeks of leg ache if there was an 18t about?

    Cheers

    I have one you can have for £8. 1/8th part. Looks just like this one but isn't purple and isn't stamped 'Halo.' A little nibbled from when I took it off but fine nick.

    ME, SCARED....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

    Actually yes...
    My daily commute is all downhill on the way in so a jump from 20t to 16t would make for the most miserable cycle home!

    Mcduck I'm on 3/32 at the moment: it's a conversion with the original chainring...Would there be an issue with mix n' match?

    You'd need a 1/8 chain. A 3/32 chainring, 1/8 cog and 1/8 chain are fine.

    Cheers for the clarification.

    Title edited to reflect 3/32 requirement.

    Willy Bain told me when I was setting up my conversion that you should try to avoid even (or uneven) number on both chainring and cog because it wears you tyre at the same place every time you skid. Even nb chainring with uneven nb cog (or vice versa) is better for you tyre wear. So a 19 would be better for your 52.

    what you want is a prime number
