Get a bigger one Paul, you can simply change it with a quick loosen of an allen key bolt and bobs your uncle!   :daumenhoch:

44 for the Track and your smaller one for the odd park/ street visit  :daumenhoch:

Paul, can you remember the size of that chainwheel you gave me for Toms bike?  the freeagent one?  you're more than welcome to that back as Tom's got a GT one now.

I will have a look tonight and see the size, i'll bang it in with the pads  :daumenhoch:
