I bought a
Harris Cyclery High-n-Wide 11/28 cassette for the hills. Triple gearing, and faster than a 53/12.
I put 'em all on (the 11/23 for training...the 11/28 for climbing) and was subsequently dropped by my racing buddies, and blamed it on the compact because I'm fat and didn't want to admit that I'm just not in as good of shape as them. Swapped it all back to standard, and am now hemmin' and hawin' again.
What are your plans for that high and wide?
