Just as a side issue, you will need a slightly longer chain than that Cloggs. Wouldn't wanna see you getting one which is on the small side. Bear in mind that as well as the extra space on the actual sprocket, the whole chain run will be longer, because the diameter of the rear sprocket is bigger, and most rearward point from the front sprocket is further with a bigger sprocket. I think the length I used in the end was about a 114, but don't quote me on that. Best to be sure, do what I did, get a long one sent (118 link), and cut it down to length.
