Speedy recovery
I'm about to go ahead with a 520 conversion. I'm down to picking out the gearing right now. So far I am going with a Parts Unlimited 15T front steel sprocket, and a DID 520 VM chain.
I'm stuck on whether I should get a Parts Unlimited 46T rear sprocket, or the lightweight 45T rear sprocket. I ride a bunch of superslab and really don't want to be buzzing along with too high gearing. I figured with a 45T lightweight I might be able to get the same thrust from reduced sprocket weight, but get the gearing a little less aggressive.
I am staying with steel due to durability issues, so AL is out of the question.
What do you guys think?
Oh, and how many links should I be looking at? Seems like 120 should be just right.
