currently using 451 wheels and using 50t x 11-32t cassette. cassette size is 11,12,13,15,18,21,24,28,32
i have actually down size from 53t to 50t. maybe need downsize to 48t further? hehe
somehow i felt if i have the extra 14t in and also the extra 16/17t in current setup will helps a lot during riding.
so far using the 32t climbing is ok. so far have not encounter any steeper hills in my area that the 32t cannot handle.
if i say 42T will you have a try?
see, you think you feel more comfortable if you have 14T, means 11,12,13 are heavy for your comfortness.
you prefer to have 14T to 17T close ratio because the gear inches is around 65 to 80, that's most people comfort gear inches too on cruising.
in order to ride in the 11,12,13 close ratio range, you really need downsize chainring to 42T.
not sure if you could get 42T easily or not but most 42T is from 52T/42T dual chainrings.
i do have a 41T single chainring, because i can't get 42T so i bought this.
