I have a 6 speed beach cruizer style bike (Ross Shark) that has a standard 14-28 freewheel and one piece crank. I recently bought a bike trailer to tow my 2.5 year old in and contray to all of the amazon reviews that said "i dont even know its back there" i do know its there!! I looked at changing the freewheel to a 14-34 with the granny gear, but would rather change the chainring since the free wheel is new and the chain ring is 20 years old. I see this chain ring with 36 teeth but it has a guard on both sides of the chain ring and I am not sure if that will interfear with the gear changing .
http://www.jbimporters.com/web/check...t_number=21524 I also see other chain rings but the are for 1/8 chains and i did not think they would work with the 3/32 setup on the bike now. Am i missing something or should this be a big improvement? I changed the sprokect on my Raleigh 3 speed last year and 4 teeth made a big difference. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
