Same gap most people have been using for years. If you don't want or need the lower gearing that some of us do, you don't have to buy it. I hope you enjoy your riding. I'm sure you don't mind if I do what I need to do to enjoy mine.
Percentages.

You don't feel the 16t as an absolute. You feel it as a percentage of ratio changed.

The percentage jumps are getting ridiculous.
