I think with a decent quality sprocket and chain it won't make a noticeable
difference. Don't fall victim to the small sprocket fearmongers.

I do have experience with the odd vs. even front sprocket, it did wear a bit
funny, if you were worried about it(I wasn't), it would be easy enough to
loosen the chain and rotate the front sprocket forward one tooth.

Thanks
Stu
