I rarely use the smallest cog, both because the largest chain ring is 48, and because I find the 13->11 step too big for my taste.
I am considering substituting the 11-tooth for a
Miche 12.
Would there be better options?
I use Miche 9 speed cogs intermixed with Shimano cogs on all my derailleur bikes and they shift just as well as a stock Shimano cassette. I use their spacers too, same width as Shimano. No need to grind, just install them and enjoy!
