And you can try running just in your middle chainring to see how much too hard 38 is. … The actual weight saving though, on a hybrid which probably has a heavy frame, is unlikely to be worth it, every assuming better/lighter cranks to go with the reduced chainring weight. …

It's hard to see how you could bend only an inner chainring inwards accidentally. …

I wouldn't expect to throw the chain inwards or outwards (at least on my 3x8 setup) if the limit screws are correct. This is true whatever sprocket I'm using and even if I push the lever the wrong wa …

You might see the speed drop to zero if there's a speed sensor issue, but you might not. It might use different averaging for the display and the sensor. If it has a cadence sensor (the only e-bike I …

If you're happy at the cadence you might find some benefit to changing the smallest sprocket to 11, I've got an 8-speed cassette with 11 then IIRC 13, half this step would be noticeable in terms of ho …

This is worse if I take the MTB on road, because of its smaller small chainring - it has very limited use. Another is that gearing too low produces too much torque, which is worse on steel uphills. …

Even with 11 speeds, the gaps between the gears will be pretty big on 11-51, so it really should be based on whether you need such a low gear. If not, other riding will be more pleasant and efficient …

You don't need a 1x chainring, in fact using one with a 7 speed chain is probably less than ideal, so you're actually better off sticking with an existing chainring. … You may not be able to get rid of the big chainring, or you may need to get shorter chainring bolts if you do, depending on how the big and middle rings are mounted. …

This will help even with the chainring you have - if you can find a 34 tooth biggest sprocket you will have a 22% easier gear. … As for changing the chainring, 44T is likely to mean a 104mm BCD (bolt circle diameter) or possibly bigger - smaller BCDs are available for 44T but they're more expensive. …
