32 or 30 tooth chainrings for Ultegra?

    Just a thought as I could do with a lower gear or two for Rourke’s Ride in October. Rather than buy a cassette with a 28 tooth sprocket I was wondering if I could get a smaller chain ring. Currently 34 on my Ultegra (110mm BCD). Is there anyone doing a 32 or 30 even? Or would they be too small for the ring bolt diameter. I have had a search but nothing smaller than 33 that I can find. I think I’m out of luck!

    Sorry, 33 is the smallest
    Sorry, 33 is the smallest number of teeth which will fit on a 110 BCD crank. Smaller than that and the chain starts touching the chainring bolts. (Likewise 38 teeth is the smallest chainring which will fit on 130 BCD cranks.)
