definatly need a smaller ring. the current set up is fine if im heading south .
if I go north, im probably better of with a 42t to be honest.
currently just got 5 gears. 23,21,19,17,16. 19t is set at approx 42mm from centre of rear wheel. 50 + 19 being the ratio my legs feel most comfortable with.
I need to stop messing with the bike, and just get out and spend some hours on it today. the rear mech will be being replaced soon, but it does look nice though.
I kind of get the impression as soon as the mech gets upgraded whatever problems im having with clunky shifting should disappear.
my choice in rear mech is due to me only having that one to use. not aesthetic.
