Big chain ring question
I have a 52 tooth chain ring and wondering about putting a 53 tooth chain ring on instead. I ran the numbers on https://home.earthlink.net/~mike.sherman/shift.html. The truth is in the end I'm not sure how to interept the numbers. How much difference is there.
Cog is 12 -25 with 700 x 23 tires
This is cross posted in the clydes forum. I posted it there to see if there might be a difference for a clyde who has more "push" then the small riders.

its a RCH higher. why does it matter? you cannot pedal downhill fast enough? 4.33 :1 is not high enough?
losing the finish line 40 mph sprints?
another ratio math calculator .. https://sheldonbrown.com/gears/ .. to plug in the numbers ..

changing the rear cog to an 11-25 would have a bigger impact.

I found a 11t cog for HG 70 cassette, will this work on a HG 50 cassette? https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-HG-70-...137884&sr=1-27
