Question on gearing - even with a (theoretical) 68t chain ring and 20t cog on the alfine 11 the GI range is about 21-87. Does such a chain ring exist? What about a bigger one? Or would i have to get one custom made?
Is that the minimum cog size for an Alfine 11?

I have seen giant chainrings like that. I think that it would be custom made.
