Seems like a good place to post my question..
I’ve just picked up my 3rd set of wheels for my bike, a rondo HVRT.
I’ve got a posh set for summer with a 11-28 cassette. But during the winter I’ve been running with an 11-32 on the stock 700c wheels for more chilled rides and to make the Hills more friendly. I’d set this up to run on the same chain length no probs.
However, I’ve now picked up a pair of 650b’s which also fit this bike. I figured I’d might as well get a bigger cassette, so have put on an 11-34. Having x1 chain for these x3 cassette sizes seems a bit of a push.. so I’ve got another chain.
So now I’m wondering do I set up this chain specifically for the 28 that’s only long enough for that (with the other chain set up for the 32 & 34)
Or whether I set up for the 34 only (leaving the current chain working ok for the 28 & 32).
Hope this makes sense..
Or does anyone think I can get away with the x1 chain across the x3 different cassette sizes?
