Hi guys,
I'm preparing a new build with a Rohloff and have a question. I currently run 42/16 chain drive which is a 2.63 ratio. My question is if you keep the exact ratio, is there any reason to scale up or down the chainring and sprocket sizes? I don't plan to violate the minimum ratio of 2.35 suggested by Rohloff. The new drivetrain will be Gates centertrack belt.
Thanks for your input,
Thorsten
