Best cog size for a 49t chainwheel
Excuse the ignorance, but I just picked up a Suntour Superbe Pro crankset with a 49 tooth Sugino 75 chain ring with which I plan to convert an 86 Peugeot Triathlon (PSV).
What would you suggest is the best cog size for me to use in a relatively flat city (Boston). I'll need to clear a few hills, but I hate spinning crazily when I'm on a nice clear bikepath. Does 17t sound right? Should I go lower?
