I didn't feel that just switching to a compact, or just changing the cassette (and probably would have required a longer-caged RD) was going to cut it. A 39/25 vs. a 39/29 will not change your life. In the end, just bit the bullet and updated the entire groupset because it wasn't too much more expensive and a bit prettier.
OK, so if I was to swap the group set, what would you get, and why, and would I also need new wheels, or hubs? Heck, tell me everything I would need for a new set.
Thanks
