Hi guys,
First time here, so I hope not to offend you with my basic knowledge but I'm in need of some help.
I have been riding my road bike for a little under 2 years now, its a Trek 1.5 (Triple). I cover a few miles but in the winter as most people do, ease off on the cycling. I have a parabolic roller I use when the weather is just too bad which is well and good, but it absolutly knackers my tyres for the amount of mileage covered.
So the idea was to buy a cheap wheelset/tyres and casette that i can just throw on and use on the roller rather than use my nicer (On-road) equipment.
But having never have to replace the rear cassette I have never had to look at alternatives.
I have found on the internet a nice cheap package deal but it comes with a Shimano MF-TZ21 7 Speed freewheel casstte.
My question to you is, would there be any problem in compatability with this set-up on my current bike.
As I have said I have a Trek 1.5t
Details:
Shifters Shimano Tiagra STI (9 speed) Front Mech Shimano Tiagra Rear Mech Shimano Tiagra Crankset FSA Vero, 50/39/30 (Triple) Cassette SRAM PG-950 11-26 (9 speed)
I would imagine ideally with the shifters you would have a 9 speed gear? But I essentially use the rollers as a fixie and dont change the gears anyway so if I could find a nicely alligned gear would this be ok?
I throw myself at your superior knowledge.
Thanks in advance.
James
