70 gear inches seems good, I just have to figure out the # of teeth for the chain ring and cog. Im looking at a 165mm lenth crank.

Still trying to figure out the effect of raising or lowering the teeth on the chaing ring vs the cog, and while still keeping it around 70 gear inches.

I believe I also read that I want to keep the one number of teeth even and the other odd (I may have mis read something there).
