I'm changing the rear cassette from an 11/32 to an 11/34 in the hope that it will help. I think I read somewhere through these pages a good while back that this could be done, but if that doesn't make the difference, I'm going to try and go from a 48/32 chain ring set to a 46/30.

I'm slowly going through all 70 pages of the Sirrus thread, so if anyone can help, it would save me a trawl.

Cheers me dears,
Graeme.
11-36 will work and be the better option, you wouldn't notice the difference between 32 and 34 much. Cheers
