Hey all,
Doesn't having a big, shinny cassette of 42t+ bother you (talking aesthetics here)? I mean nowadays groupsets are all black and then there is one huge ,shiny thing on the rear part of the bike.
I've seen people get matching biggest ring of the cassette with the front chainring and jockeys but as I don't want to invest this kind of money in parts that will need changing regularly, I want to make it work the simple way which I thought was a silverish matching drivetrain.
The thing is I don't really like shining silver matched with glossy black. I've bought a M7000 cassette. It isn't silver and because of this the contrast isn't so great between two colours. The problem is - now it seems impossible to find a matching chainring. Has anyone got something in mind? What do you think about this ? Am I looking into this wrong from your perspective?
