cassette question

If I change my cassette from a 11-23 to a 12-26 does my chain length change as well?

Depends on if you left yourself some slack.

Maybe, maybe not. I regularly chainge between 11-23 and 12-27 without issue. But you can't generalize from that. Chainstay lengths vary, as do FD sizes. To be sure, you should measure for proper length with both cassettes.

Campy, right? Short cage or medium cage?
