I have a 130mm crank set on my bike I've been riding for track. I have a 48 x 15 I'm riding right now, but need/want to move up to a 50 x 15
I'm learning that 50t in the 130 is, well... Near impossible.
Now, they do make some road rings (9/10 speed, etc) in the 50t x 130mm that I'm looking for. Would there be any major negative effect of doing so?
I wouldn't see why? But definitely wanted to ask here first. Yes, it's the lighter aluminum and not stainless steel, but I can live with a shorter life span for now until I know I'm going to stick with it and upgrade my bike.
Thoughts? And thanks for the help.....
