Does riding an 11-32T cassette on a Road bike make me any less of a rider?

[billygoat0523]

after moving from a bike that had 11-32 to a bike with 11-30, my brain couldn't handle it and i just had to put a 11-32 cassette on. 

 

i hardly use the 32 tooth, but my legs/brain was used to the 25-28-32 spacing whereas the 11-30's last three were 24-27-30.

 

and to OP's question of 4 years ago...  who cares?  ride your damn bike!

Check the BCD (bolt circle diameter) with the 53 sprocket, 39 sprocket and 36 sprocket with the SRAM Force.If they match, you're in luck. BUT then your FD might not be able to handle that jump. People often fall in these traps.

Thanks. 

will be interesting to hear your experience in trying to fit that 36T. The SRAM installation guide suggests it might not work.

Just thinking about the idea  to fit 36T (The 53/39  11-28 still good for the moment).  Would rather consider 53/39 with 12-30 in future when replacing the 11-28
