I have just bought a 2nd hand bike (Specialised Tarmac SL4) which has a 50/34 chainring, the seller says it is Ultegra 10 speed but can be 11 speed (that confuses me a little!). Most of my riding is on the flat. I have a spare pair of wheels but they have an old 9 speed cassette on them from my old bike. What cassette would I be best to buy please to put on my spare wheels which will help me maximise my speed on the flat. Thanks
Riding on the flat your speed is limited to your ability, not the cassette, and on the flats you are unlikely to spin out any cassette or run out of low gears. Id say get a 10sp 12-28 or 11-25 CS-HG500
I personally would go for the 12-28 as i hate mashing gears.
