Custom Cassette ratio
I waiting for my new compact crank to arrive to replace my standard crank. I'm currently using a 12-26 SRAM force cassette and in the interests of riding up some steep hills (and because the compact only goes to 50) I was thinking of replacing the cassette with an 11-28.
The 12/26 includes: 12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,26
The 11/28 includes: 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,22,25,28
Has anybody ever mixed and matched cogs? I'm thinking I'd rather have a 16 than a 12. I rarely use the smallest cog unless I'm bombing down a hill so I can't imagine missing a 12 much. I don't know if there would be shifting issues going from 13 to 11 though.
