If riding mostly flat, do you need anything past the 23 ?, I.E the 25 & 28 ?
I live on Long Island and am happy with an 11 spd. 11-23, gets me up the short steep stuff we have, yet gives me straight gearing in the 11-12-13 on the 34 ring and the 17-18-19 on the 50 big ring.
I HATE 2 tooth or more jumps when I'm with other riders or in the wind.
