Tumbleweed Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) What does it mean when cassette is available in two combinations: 11-32 and 11-34. And how does one know which to buy? Refers to teeth on the smallest and biggest cogs. Depends on what you want. Edited June 27, 2012 by Tumbleweed
RockCoach Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Those are the number of teeth in the cluster. The first number is the smallest gear teeth number and the second is the largest. The more teeth the easier the gear will be to pedal.
krl747 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 After my injury I will need a 11-50 to get up any hill!
krl747 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 What is the deal with booties? I would say warm and dry feet. Hope I have the right booties
Top Fuel Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 It is the amount of teeth on each blade of the cassette. 11 is the smallest one, no problem there. 32 or 34 is the biggest one. The bigger the blade the easier the gear. So if you think you need that tiny little extra on the big climb then go for the 34.
TNT1 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Refers to teeth on the smallest and biggest cogs. Depends on what you want. Sprockets. Please, educate the noob's correctly.
Grebel Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 What does it mean whencassette is available in two combinations: 11-32 and 11-34. And how does one know which to buy? Smallest sprocket (11 teeth) to the biggest sprocket (32/34 teeth) Choose the 34 tooth unit if you plan on doing some serious climbing and your legs aren't up to it (You will be able to spin a lot easier/faster going uphill). You will be making a sacrifice in one of the other ratios though...
Grebel Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 What is the deal with booties? Lycra boots to go over shoes for posers. Also used for diving in cold water to keep your feet warm...
Tumbleweed Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sprockets. Please, educate the noob's correctly. Noobs not noob's.
RockCoach Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Lycra boots to go over shoes for posers. Does is only count if they are yellow lycra booties?
Nancy Drew Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 The jump from 32 to 34 doesn't make a huge difference, your legs still end up doing most of the work. That being said, I have an 11-34 on my MTB..... 11-34 would look kinda strange on a road bike.... I like the idea though
RockCoach Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Excellent!Thanks folks! You don't even have to count the teeth. The number is usually stamped on the side of the sprocket!
Mojoman Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Whats the difference between the various pivot points/shock attachment points (a,b,c) on a dual suspension? Seems to be three types?
