<p>It depends on what your courses are like and knowing what gearing will be optimum. I liked the single ring and raced it one year but I also found it to be limiting as well and have stuck with a double since. If you are going to go for it I would suggest a 42 up front. Make sure you shorten your chain by a link or two, a chainring outer guard and some kind of chain watcher otherwise it will come off.</p>

<p>If you can push a 46 single I say go for it, but be warned - you better have tree trunks for legs! What cain rings are you currently running on your double setup? </p>
