Isn't it meant to be 23-8? Not that it makes much difference

I wouldn't go any lower then 30-11, but that's just me.

But you mainly just ride trails so that's ok right? Because street, park, and flatland normally run smaller gearing...I think.

GNR, you suck at the funny. You chew, which is also ********, and you come off as an ass at times.

20-8 sounds good. How much did you pay GNR? I would have it powder coated.

Unlike mine, the paint on his is salvageable, it just needs to be waxed.
