“3.  43-tooth outer chainring.  Riv had a bunch of Silver brand chainrings 
made, sometimes in unusual but sensible sizes.  I stocked up on the 35T size 
which enabled an application that would have been difficult otherwise.  A lot 
of us run a 44-tooth outer chainring.  Many of us even run a 42-tooth big ring. 
 How many of us run a 43?  Very few, because "nobody" makes a 43.  Rivendell 
Bicycle Works has 143 43T outer chainrings in stock (110mm BCD).  At $38 a pop, 
that's $5,500 of inventory that they could be using elsewhere.  Grab one or two 
of them, and you'll smile at your next build when you have it ready.  You'll be 
the only kid on the block with a 43T big ring.  Chainrings also look super cool 
hanging over your workbench”

Hmmmm, I’ve got a 46t hanging on the wall.  I bet I could do a good half-step 
with a 43 middle and 46 outer.  Drives me crazy that all anyone makes is even 
tooth counts.
