It is nice to see that I am not the only rider using smaller chain rings. I started using small chain rings when I was in my middle 30's which was before the mtb craze and they were not as E Z to find back then. My 1st small ring bike conversion concerned me. I hate to spend money uselessly but I never looked back after the conversion and I still have the bike. I have since changed it to mtb triple for the granny.
