Hi,

I do just fine with the budget shimano stuff on my road bike.
(My folders shimano stuff is adequate, but bottom of the barrel.)

Upgrading stuff just for the sake of it is not cost effective.

A good question is why do you need an 11 to 32 rear cassette
with 3 front chainrings ?

You have loads of overlapping gears due the wide range of the rear.

Reducing the rear range will give you closer spaced
gears without changing the number of rear gears.

I'd go 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 28 on the rear.

rgds, sreten.

My road bike is 52, 42 front and 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 28 rear.
