no man, that's just my login name for some strange reason. I ride street bmx, so that's why I chose that name. I plan to make some trips to the closest velodrome this fall and winter though...

Is a 42t chainring too small with which to start?

I rode 42x16 for quite a while and was very happy with it, and am now even happier with 44x16

I run a 42-15 which is 74 gear inches. Not bad to start or to stay with but it really depends upon your abilities and the hills you need to climb. btw, 44-16 is ~73 gear inches(using 700 x 25c)


In comparison, a 48-16 would be 79 gear inches.

42-15 @ 100 rpm = 22mph
48-16 @ 100 rpm = 23.5mph

Swapping cogs gives you more results than swapping the chainring.

But the big chainring looks cool so that has to be taken into consideration.
