Anyone change the chainring to a 32t?

When the battery dies? Not easy. I'm running a 32t with a 9-46 cassette. I use the whole cassette and 32 seems to be spot on. If I had the 11-46 cassette I'd keep the 34 on the front.

I’m hoping a Renthal 1XR will mount up. The chainguide claims 34t and up, but sure that could be tweaked? I’ll never rip 34-9 on my trails. Be nice to have an easier gear in case you get too deep and battery cooks.

What chainring are you using? Do they have to be anything special? I’m waiting for my bike to land.

34T ring, 160mm cranks, 46t rear cog and 50lb enduro bike make for a tough go up anything steep. I’d go to a 28T if I was planning on pushing the limits of my battery range.

With the speeds you are riding with a 32t, no need for a chainguide, a narrow wide would do fine.

34t seems to be the sweet spot for restricted (20mph) riding.

Sounds like a plan. I ordered a 32t just in case I get buried somewhere.
