thanks for the help so far!

I'm thinking if I do not change the chainrings. Say retain the biopace 53t...

- can i use it with this Wippermann 1Z1 chain?

- will it also work with the Gusset 1-ER SS conversion kit (I am using an old freehub type wheel)

- should i remove the 39t and put the 53t in its place (closer to the crank) or just leave it as it is?

I'm not a quick rider on my roadie. Cadence ave between 90-100rpm achieving cruising speeds of about 30-35km/h which is ideal for me. The gusset comes with 2 cogs; 16t and 18t.......will using the 18t in conjunction with a 53t chainring be 'killing' myself? Its mostly flat roads out here (urban, sub-urban....there's no such thing as rural in Singapore!)

thanks!
