I was bored and felt like making my Steamroller able to ride on some local trails.

Need another tire for this year.
Got a buddy's 44 & it ain't fitting.
Also in search of a 39t, so I don't have to walk as much.

I got mine from the small chainring on an old Tiagra double. Not the best possible solution but it works pretty well.

assuming your cranks are 130bcd you can get a sugino 39t without any ramps/pins at bikeman cheap
