M542 chainset question

Gazlar

Right, i'm a technical plank

I have an m542 chainset, which ive managed to grind the big ring teeth pretty flat, I never use the big ring, so is there anything stopping me whipping that off and fitting a bash such as the slx or the m545 guard?

also whilst I'm at this fettling, could i change to a 36 tooth middle ring?

cheers people

would look at a bigger granny as well.

I like mine though, and she can't help it, shes 93 now

I like a 22, mainly because i'm not that athletic

next question, is there much to be gained then from swapping to a double specific front mech, or is it a must?

Mech is fine, just adjust the limit screws.

thought so, cheers peeps time to whip out the cards then

nope if he goes for a 36T then there is a very good chance the the mech will need lifting.

cheers fellas, i might just stick with a 22/32 for now, see how i get on with that, to be fair I have yet to need my big ring so it should be ok with those two and a bash then. I can always fettle again at a later date

Pedantic. Mech itself will be fine, will need adjusting accordingly.

plumped for an e13 32 tooth guard in the end, 30 notes job done, thanks for your advice though guys, much appreciated
