maybe its just my style but i dont often use the large ring and if i need to use the granny then its probably faster (and more stable!) to get off and leg it
and now since riding my roadie a lot more i have noticed i am 99% of the time in the small (44 i think) ring on that one
so i am considering turfing the big and small rings off the dirt bike - anyone here done this? i am sure i can get a significant weight reduction (over 500g perhaps?) with the right crankset/bb/ring combination but not sure if i worth it
i am not the fittest guy and i only race occasionally but i love toys and bling and if this can get me on the way to sub 9kg, (currently around 9.7kg) i will be happy!
