Hello
I’m pushing a 48×15 at the moment but find it just too big, i’m going to try a 17t Surly sprocket on the back instead.

Do you favor changing the sprocket or the chainring to increase/decrease gear size?

Cheers

Single gear, always wrong….
This here Giant came with 48/17 as standard. Works well for an unfit me. 🙂

If it’s too big…
Change it.

Change the sprocket it’ll be a lot easier and a 48T chainset is pretty standard. I don’t think you’ll go far wrong with a 17 tooth rear sprocket, plus larger sprockets are supposed to lessen chain wear… not that you get much of that on a singlespeed anyway.
