That's exactly right. I could get creative with the dremel, but I think that won't really make it look any better. Maybe if I get bored on a rainy day.
What do you guys think about running the outer (52t) chainring? I have a 16t cog. It would be slower accel/ higher top speed, correct? If I did that, I could remove the inner 45t chainring.
