When I am peddling and want to switch to a slightly harder (or easier) gear, and one switch often feels like a big change. I'm looking for a cassette (or solution in general) that will give me finer adjustments when I change gears so that the change does not feel as large. I don't want to switch the front chain ring either just to get small adjustments. If the first two cogs are eliminated (11T and 13T) that is okay as I don't use those much anyway. Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
What gears do you actually use and what size is the chain ring(s)? You should choose a cassette that is tighter in the region you are actually using. For instance a Shimano 10 sp. 11-28 has the exact same 21-19-17-15 as the Shimano 10 sp. 11-36. That aint much help if that is the range you use the most. To get around this you may need to use a smaller chain ring and, say, a 11-28 cassette. You need to supply some more info or its hard to give helpful answers.
