Minimum difference in tooth count between chainrings
I have a road triple (52/42/30) that came on my touring bike and have since realised the 52t outer ring is slightly overkill, only time it gets used is with a heavy tailwind. Curious as to what the minimum difference between teeth count is. Would 46t be too small? Any more than a 48 and would make more sense to just replace the crankset. any advice appreciated, thanks.
