#1 . will my shifting be horrid with the tooth jump?
#2 . Large chainring diameter on 56t-should I just stick to 53/39 standard and play it “safe?” And of course, I’ve only got 20” wheels.
If you use 'greasy finger shifting'.. No Problemo, you put the chain on the other chain ring with your fingers while Stopped../
then at the top of the hill you put it back on the big chainring.. ?
A Schlumpf speed drive has a 1.6x internal gear, so in overdrive a 34t acts like a 54t
because the crank arms are on one side of the gears chainring on the other
Physical 39t acts like a 62 t as chainring turns faster than the crankarms..
