Trouser Size Conversion: To convert one size into another size, first choose the trouser size you know (e.g. the UK size) and then choose the corresponding size by moving horizontally within the trouser size conversion chart. Least perfect square divisible by each 32 and 48 = LCM(32, 48) × 2 × 3 = 576 [ Square root of 576 = √576 = ±24] To find the LCM of 32 and 48 using prime factorization, we will find the prime factors, (32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2) and (48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3). LCM of 32 and 48 is the product of prime factors raised to their respective highest exponent among the numbers 32 and 48. Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (32 x 1 = 32) and write that answer at the bottom: This is an alternative method to getting an easier gear. It's also a very nice, high quality replacement chainset.

In use, then, the Praxis Works Alba M30 48/32 is just like a compact chainset, but with slightly lower gears. I like it a lot. Who's it for?When in Italy, subtract three from your usual UK size, whereas in France, it’s just a difference of one size. Converting US sizes requires a different approach, adding two to the UK size, i.e., a UK 32 becomes a US 6. For men’s sizes in the US and the UK, a general rule is to subtract ten. After a bike fit I ditched the front ring as the crank was too long for my little legs. I swapped it out for a compact. But I kept the 12-25 and suffer for it on steep hills as I'm no whippet anymore.

Step 2: If any of the given numbers (32, 48) is a multiple of 2, divide it by 2 and write the quotient below it. Bring down any number that is not divisible by the prime number. Step 1: List a few multiples of 32 (32, 64, 96, 128, 160, . . . ) and 48 (48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, . . . . ) What we have here, then, is a fairly conventional pair of cranks, with a five-arm spider and 110mm bolt circle diameter (the same as a compact) cunningly tweaked so that a 32-tooth inner ring will fit. To achieve that, Praxis Works screws the chainring bolts straight into the inner ring, dispensing with the usual nut, and machines a cutaway in the crank spider arms so there's room for the chain.
