I've got my new cassette on, and it shifts great. I use the 12T from a Shimano 12-23 for my first cog. I droped the 11, 12 from a new Sram 11-28, and added a 12T Shimano for the first gear (I had a good like new Shimano 12-23 cassette). I took the 32T from a new Sram 11-32, and made it the last gear of the new cassette. Now the new cassette is geared like a Shimano "P". Why I didn't do as Bill said and buy the Shimano "P", or Nashbar 12-32. I could not find either at the present time, and I wanted to get to riding. Nashbar was out of the 12-32.
I'll keep looking beacuse I want to set up another wheel.
Thanks for the information on Forte, I'll go ahead and order one to see how it does.
I appreciate all the good input.
Now I'm thinking about a new project. I have installed a new Shimano R600 compact crank (34-50). It has a cbd of 110mm. I would like to replace the 50T ring with a 52 or 53. Any thoughts?
