Thanks [MENTION=21724]cyccommute[/MENTION], good info. I do indeed have that BB tool, although I'll have to grab a new crank puller. Oh well, I have enough other newer bikes at home I'll eventually need it for, and its only $16. Spent far more than that on impact hex and star bits to take the motorcycle apart...

Completely forgot I have a 24t chainring which I believe is a 74BCD sitting in my toolbox too. May look into a 46 and 38 chainring, if a FD can handle a 14t jump.
