thanks for the input guys, it looks like im just going to have to change the chain rings. There are no bike shops around here so i have to get everything online and do it myself. anyone know a good place for ordering this kinda stuff?? i was also thinking i might just bite the bullet and buy a rhollof but i cant find anywhere to get a 20'' rhollof wheel built and shipped here besides places in europe that want to charge like $160 just for shipping. any ideas as far as that goes??
