just know that chains stretch over time and not all chainrings are identical, so there's no guarantee of a perfect fit.
Didn't check the frame size

forgot the stay length might be different. There are only 2 sizes but I checked mine with the online calculator in the previous post and should be ok now. with a half link the 39x16 is bang on. could have gotten a 15t instead but not guaranteed to work with hub i have. thanks for help
