M.E.T.A. Yes I did mean to say medium front with smaller rear...oops. And the more I read the more I'm feeling that there will be no appreciable difference in torque or power. I will continue to use the mid and large front sprockets to minimize the "Stretching" that I've seen on the teeth...

Thanks for the replies. I agree with your analysis, the efficency change due to friction may be affected but the increased effort by the bicyclest would be practically unnoticable. However, when I first started thinking about this issue I was wondering if there is a more significant effect of...

We all know that there are several options of front sprocket/rear sprocket combinations that achieve the same gear ratio. i.e. A large front sprocket with medium rear or medium front with larger rear will produce the exact cadence at a given speed. What I've always wondered, is there any...
