shimano cassette
Hi,
I just get on and ride my bike and clean it, I've never really got into the mechanical side of it, but, I have done a few century plus cyclosportives which were v hilly, I think to make the climbing easier I need to change my cassette, I currently ride on 11-23 shimano dura ace hollotech 2, am I right in the following:
1. If I change to a 12-27 compatible cassette I will get an easier climb and faster on the flat, will I need to change anything else??
2. Can I just buy 2 rings one 12 tooth and 1 27 tooth and swap out the 11 and 23 that i use at the moment
3. Is this all b=llocks and I should just grind it out??? LOL
thanks
