My mate came to work today to pick up an office chair and had his teeny camera with him so he took a few frames after i was done changing hte drivetrain....17/40 now and it feels better than 16/39....but 17/41 would probably be my cup of tea!

17/40 is actually a higher ratio than 16/39, therefore it would feel more sluggish of the bottom end.However if you were after more top end speed,you may have gained an extra few kmh.

Nah, before gear one was kinda useless....had to take all roundabouts on second. Now i can use gear 1 again.
...but as said, 41 in rear would be the shit!
....and shorter between 1-2....one gear between 3-4 and taller between 4-5.....then it would be just GREAT!
