Re: [ST] chain

["John Mathis" <jcmathis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly, a while back there was a thread about sprocket
changes and 1 tooth down in the front is the same as 3 teeth up in the rear.
I could be wrong but I think that was the response.  I have thought about
doing the same thing but am waiting for the chain to wear out and do it at
the same time.
