Got a 40t extender cog waiting to be installed and a choice of either 30 or 32t n/w chainring.

Bike is a 29er long travel ht which I use for short xc races.

Rider is reasonably fit but not likely to trouble any podiums.

Will 30t be too spinny?

32 definitely, even a 34. No way a 30, would be spin crazy ๐Ÿ™‚

30 will almost certainly be fine, but I'd go 32.

Well that's decided then.

๐Ÿ˜›

Think I will start with the 32t.

It'd be handy to keep the 30t aside for my FS 29er anyway, which will be going 1x at a later date.

Thanks guys.

Do you want a nearly new SS 32 one?

EDIT - rereading, you already have both.
