The main issue is that 52t ring. I don't particularly need it...I think 48 would be about right. While I'm downsizing that then, I would like to incrementally downsize the other front ones, and then downsize the largest cog in back from a 30 to a 28, while upsizing the smallest from an 11 to a 12-14 (depending on what I find.)

Basically, I'm trying to "tighten up" all the spacing in the range that I most commonly use on the distance and commuting riding I do, while still preserving that 1:1 granny bailout for super steep hills on tired leg days.
