    530 comversion reading has made me cross eyed.

    If i switch to 15/42 in a 530 chain and sprokets, do I need a 48 rear? I have read the threads a couple times but i get lost in some of the algebra everyone uses and i never really get a straight answer. If you are converted, what is your sproket sizes. Thnaks.

    42/15 = 2.80 - 630 chain

    48/17 = 2.82 - 530 chain

    With 530 you need a bigger small sprocket because the chain pitch (distance between links) is shorter.
