Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A bigger cassette may require a longer cage derailleur and a longer chain, whereas going to smaller rings would at most likely need a slightly shorter chain.

My preference is generally to move to smaller rings, but I do have an abundance of rings to choose from.

So I went ahead and got a 11-32 cassette. Microshift. I have Mavic wheels which use a spacer for 10 speed. When I installed the Microshift cassette it would not fit with the spacer. Without it went on fine, no interference, shifts fine.
Is this normal for a Microshift cassette?
