TNT1 Posted July 3, 2008 Share It's to do with your height, the taller you are, the shorter the cage you should use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIRR Posted July 3, 2008 Share If you have the option get the long cage as it works for cassettes with larger(eg 27-12) gear ratios and is still fine to use with cassettes with smaller(eg 23-11) gear ratios. GIRR2008-07-03 06:26:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted July 3, 2008 Share A long cage will allow you to use cassettes with bigger (easier) cogs eg 27-32 cogs. That's what I have got also. Short cage up to 25, long cage 27 and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
