Is anybody else out there swapping back wheels. Say from a wheel with 11-23 cassette to an 11-28 ?

Thanks for the reply. I don't have "tuns of muney" for this. But could find enough to buy a new back wheel. Chatted to my LBS on this, they recon a 2 tooth jump between cassettes will be fine. (on that info, your 12-25 vs 11-23 would be fine.) I'm swapping an 11-23 with an 11-28, so I'm a little concerned. In my mind two 10 spd cassettes should both work on the same derailer settings, chain tension would obviously be the biggest factor.

Hi, I just bought a new cassette to help me up the hills, my knees were starting to kinc-in. Thing is, I will still want to use the old cassette for flat rides/races. My question is, whether it will be technically easier to swap Wheels or Cassettes? I'm fairly practicle, but find that cog/derailer alignment can be difficult to get perfectly right. Any comments/wisdom from people who have been here before? Should I invest in a new back wheel and switch wheels; or should I just change cassette on the day, according to the ride profile? tks

Thanks Awesome tip... Will try it. "My Eyes Burrrrn" when I ride in summer.

So I'm coming back into cycling. A lot of my mates have had bad accidents with cars and I gave the sport a break, for a long while. I've finally caved in and I bought a great 2nd hand road bike this weekend, but it has flat pedals. I'm thinking of putting Mtn bike pedals onto it. My thinking: 1 set of cycling shoes for spinning & cycling. I want to do the bulk of my "base' work in the gym. I guess the question is: Am I being doff about this? How strong is the grip in a Mountain bike pedal. If I pick up a big power stroke kicking towards the line in a race, could I pull the cleat out of the pedal?

Hey, I went out and bought a groupset and wheels - still with a frame attached. Can anybody tell me what year model this Raleigh RC8000 frame is? Thanks,
