I doubt that anyone on here has the definitive answer. I certainly don't.

Test test test. That's what you need to do.

I'm surprised you're using the standard rear. You'll end up needing a front sprocket so big it won't go inside the sprocket cover!

I'd certainly start by leaving the front standard and going to a 43 on the rear. If you go down too many you'll run out of revs before you've got 50m!

do you get better acceleration if you lose 1 tooth on the front sprocket?
