Recommended # of teeth in Chain Ring to work with a 20T cog in back, 26" wheels
I just bought a used bike and the orig owner had converted it to single speed but left on a 3 chain ring crank set --- unfortunately the chain rings are riveted.
Anyways, what # of teeth upfront work well with a 20t cog? Looking for a good ration for riding in the park and some trails. Thanks.
I was looking to by a 170mm length crank set. Bike has 26" wheels.

Well I know the ratio I'd ideally like but I don't want a giant chain ring in front. I guess it's best to just change the rear cog.
Thanks.
Thanks.
