OMFG. If you want to do my ratios with 1/2", you're looking at a 68t big ring.

That is the claim, and you're dead wrong, like everyone's trying to tell you; the only way to have the all same ratios with a different pitch is to halve it, and then you've got twice as many potential ratios.

Just look at these numbers.
