Bike porn

Is the 11-27 the 2013 /14 campag cassette they have released? I find the 12-27 to be great... I miss the 11 tooth sometimes (so am keen on the new 11-27) but prefer the close ratios in the middle and having a bailout above 25 is what 11 speed is all about! Saving you from exploding when the climbs get longer!

also option 2 could be cheaper if you source someones worn out 11-23 (11 and 12 cog will always be fresh on an Record or SR cassette as they are steel and rarely used)

Go 52/36 up front?

Just to further fuck the porn thread.

Climbing gears > desending gears. You'll save more time, and your legs, if you can maintain a decent cadence on the way up.

Having said that. You need to be doing a bloody long climb to want 34:27. My dilema is that I actually do want 34:27 for my occasional bloody long climb. But I actually also use 50:11.

Currently have, and liked, byt need to replace.
