Heavyweight Posted February 18, 2010 Share Hi there, I want to get a 11-25 cluster, I reckon the 11 is good for he flats and fast downhills, and that the 25 is great for the hills... Is the solid hopefulness, because I dont want to buy a 11-23 and a 12-25? I am afraid that the ratios wont suit my cadence...? What do you think?

Willehond Posted February 18, 2010 Share Seriously, an 11-25 will just be fine. You're not going to notice the difference, except when you hit the hills. Small, small difference really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trubie Posted February 18, 2010 Share diffs is minimalmost climbs with the 11 -25 you wont even use the 25, but its good to know its there if needed11-23 will be just fine unless you doing something like Jock or TDF This is assuming you use a standard crank and not compact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Break Posted February 18, 2010 Share I agree, 11-25 is a good choice, I ride with them. Most of the time you will be riding in a pack so cadence won't be an issue there, in breakaways the 11T definitely helps you keep that high speed on decents adn the 25 tooth helps reduce long term fatigue from heavy climbs and helps with keeping with bunch on the really steep stuff.

nickc Posted February 19, 2010 Share What should be used at the jock? I used a 12 - 27 for the Jock and it was great, especially towards the end of some of those climbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even get an 11-28![/quote'] yeah, but you're missing a couple of ratios in the middle? I'd rather have a 11-21 11speed. there aren't any hills in SA that you cant climb in small blade/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
