have one practical problem with "going micro" on me personal sleds which is likely shared by other readers as well -

in me workshop have cartons and cartons of chainwheels filled with the "take-offs" of boom era prducts. names such as Stronglight, T.A., NERVAR, Campag, Zeus, Sugino, Shimano & SR. the snag is that even though there are a great many chainwheels there is precious little variety since they are all take-offs of OEM sets from back in the day. inners are pretty much limited to 40, 42 & 45T while outers seem to be universally 52T.

so to "go micro" i need to purchase new chainwheels whilst having hundreds which be snoozing in their boxes.

maybe they could be melted down or placed upon the waves of the embaymenture...
