Cassette question
Hi guys,
I currently have the following Ultegra Cassettes
11-23T: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23
12-25T: 12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25
I was thinking of getting the 11-28T but want to switch/convert the sprockets to 12-28. So the gears would look like this…
12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,24,28
Is this possible? If so, do you think I should add a link or two on the chain?
Thanks in advance

Yes, unless your current chain is already long enough for the new gearing.

This. But check your chain wear first. Might just be best to put a new chain on at the same time. You likely will need a link or two, unless of course your current chain is the original and/or the same length as the original. It's pretty normal for bikes to come with chains that are too long.
