|   Why no one uses front rings smaller than 42? | kilimanjaro
Jan 30, 2004 1:19 PM | | I whant to "fix" my current road bike and it has a 38 inner. Is there a reason I can't use that as the front chainring provided that I can get the chainline right via spacers and or new BB? |

Seriously, use whatever you like. people like the bigger ones because they'll wear longer and ride nicer, but don't sweat it. |

I find the front rings are a lot cheaper than rear ones. |
