So had my first proper ride yesterday after Changing to the 36 front chain ring. I found that it really makes a difference and did not have to use the smallest gear on the cassette as much and using the miiddle of cassette still so less strain on the chain which is a good thing. if you need to...

Well good luck with your physio and getting the bike motor fixed Pilates is good so I have been told but don’t think you will do that either 😜
