It would be MY need for low gears to want a 38/37t AND a granny, say 26t.
Why go back up to a 42? I'm currently running a 50/38 on my Hetchins, and I'd love to have a granny-ized 93.
Any thoughts of going lower for that middle ring?
If so, I'd be in for one.
Not sure, but changing the number of teeth is probably pretty easy once the CAM program is operational. I'll ask--maybe they'll be willing to make a batch of mixed sizes.
I'm going with 42 because I plan to use one ring as a half-step setup with my touring bike--a 46-42-24 in front, 14-17-21-26-32 in back. I'm also going to use a crossover setup on my Gitane with 47-42-24 in front and a 7-speed 13-15-17-19-21-24-28 freewheel. Both seem to chart out pretty well.
