By the looks of it seams a great solution to my problem, thanks! But...
My current bike has 5 arm compact 94/58 BCD crankset,
FAQ: "My triple chainring is 22 teeth. Can I get a lower gear?
A. If your crankarm spider has 4 arms, that is as low as you can go. If it has 5 arms and a 58mm bolt circle you can go down to 20 teeth. "
So, the idea is great, but with my crackset as they say I can only go from 22 to 20... Even with some other sets min 17T. Not worth it IMHO, I would appreciate such idea modified to allow for even smaller chainrings. I was glad to find out somebody is concerned with using/making low gears too, maybe I will contact them and discuss further. Do you know them personally?
