Hey fellow trike enthusiasts,
I own a TerraTrike Gran Tourismo x18, a fantastic recumbent trike of the tadpole variety. While I love the comfort and power of my Bosch mid-drive up front, I've been longing for smoother and crisper shifting in the rear. Currently, I'm running a 9-Speed Cassette, and I'd prefer to stick with it as I look to upgrade my Shimano Alivio Trigger and derailleur.
The issue I'm facing is that I have to push the shifter quite far to get it to downshift, and the whole shifting experience feels a bit cheap compared to the overall quality of my trike.
So, here are my questions:
- What's the best shifting upgrade option that's compatible with my 9-speed cassette?
- I'm also curious about the possibility of upgrading to an 11-speed cassette. Are there any options available for that?
I appreciate your insights and recommendations. Let's make the trike riding experience even better!
