absolutely correct, I should have added for context that my other bikes are a 50 lb beach cruiser and 5 speed commuter. And I think the 5 speed would have been okay, just not as many options. I am not much of a long haul biker, just a commuter and never went close to the small chain ring on a 3 ring set.
Wish I would have talked to Colorado Dale before I went.
