Cassette adapter for Road bike

[Guest Smimby]

Get stronger legs,a 11-25 is enough for most hills.

 

Where, do you know if they have them on sale somewhere?

Just go a bit quicker with the 34/25 and you will still be able to spin

Train harder and spin up on 39/23..... or be a man and use 39/21.....

most lbs will have 11-28 or 12-27 cassettes

Cool thanks seems a whole cassette is the answer, not just an adapter

It really is a crime to go that slow on a roadbike..... breaks the rules in a big way.....

Damn... I do hope you are decent when you descend.... being indecent in public is also a crime......

Not only am I bad at climbing, my spelling is even "badder"

WOW

[V12man]

WOW

If it was 1100m in 10km it would be a climb, but 1100m in 24km is only 4.5%, on average, so barely classifies as rolling hills.... slight incline on average maybe..... Actually the average is very misleading on that climb.... did it in 2006 during the etape.... was a bit of a hassle because there was a HUGE crash at the front on the decent, and they held up the ride till they cleared the injured..... the following hills were more impressive....

It's only 4% on average - the inclined bits are more like 7% - rode it on a 39/25 which was ok, but in hindsight I should have taken more gears, because it was followed by the col du Telegraph and the Galibier, and then by Alpe de Huez..... a 27 or 28 would have been good for those.
