Looking at a sprocket change with the next chain replacement on my bike. I am looking at two options that offer darn close to the same drive ratio:
I see that the smaller setup has less slung mass.
I am assuming that with less overall teeth and less overall pins/links that the tolerable wear is lower, is that right and distinctly noticeable?
What else might I consider?
- 17 tooth front sprocket with a 47 tooth rear sprocket
- 16 tooth front sprocket with a 44 tooth rear sprocket
