Gotcha on the 59! Thanks for the refresher.
The QPD 59 Rear/24 front setup has a 2.46:1 ratio.
My anticipated 72 rear/32 front ratio is 2.25:1. So, unless I'm wrong (highly possible), on the QPD set up, the front sprocket will rotate 2.46 times for every rotation of the back wheel. With the 72/32 setup, the front sprocket will rotate 2.25 times for every one rotation of the back wheel. This will take more torque to turn the wheel, but not by much, over the QPD. Should also increase my top end/cruising capability.

Make sense???? Really, I need someone to check my logic.
