Re: [ST] chain
I've already thought of that and have a 17 tooth front to put on.
However, I noticed I only have one "spot" of chain adjustment left and
hoped to gain some back with a larger rear sprocket. I also wanted to
get more than 5% increase in RPM. That's why I started looking at +3 on
the rear, or 7%. I borrowed a friends Mechanical Engineering Handbook.
Maybe it has enough information to calculate the chain length difference.
