I ve been going back and forth on this one due to the high costs involved in doing it properly. I feel that it doesnt make much sense to be investing further in a 10 speed group.
I also don't fancy the idea of an over-stretched RD.
I am wondering whether this could give me sufficient/acceptable gear range:

I am guessing it will also work ok with the Compact chainset and the short RD.
I guess I will only be able to answer this one if I buy/install the cassette and I climb the same mountain that killed me last time (with the 11-25).
