I am considering changing the chainwheels on my bike, and I would like
make sure that I don't forget anything while doing it.  My main reason for
changing my gearing is that I have decided that I want some lower gears
than I have now, also since I seldom use my 100 inch gear I have decided
that I should rework the entire setup.

Here is what I presently have:

freewheels ->    14    16    20    24    28    32

chainwheels
   40            77    68    54    45    39    34
   52           100    88    70    59    50    44


This is what I am considering changing it to, I would like to know what
people think of this setup (I know, I'm asking for trouble).

freewheels ->    14    16    20    24    28    32

chainwheels
   32            62    54    43    36    31    27
   40            77    68    54    45    39    34
   48            93    81    65    54    46    41


I am keeping the 40 tooth chainwheel not with the interest in saving
money, but because I get a large amount of use of the gears that it
provides.

Thanks to all, please send mail, I will post a summary to the net when the
responses die down.
