I am thinking about low gearing for 2 to 3 trips to the Mountains next year, I can get far on my
Mirage equiped bike 39 x 25 but on long climbs after long day in saddle or on steep climbs I can use
a smaller gear. (I use both Shimano hubs and Campy hubs of 9-spd without problems)
I don't wanna put a lot of money into the bike as I prefer to take my old bike on a plane (isn't a
big deal financially if they damage it) so no change to triple front (new cranks/axle/front der.)
Tell me if I am insane but I was thinking of the following;
fit a Shimano Deore Megarange(11-34) cassette on 9-spd Shimano roadbike hub (will it fit?) and a
Campy Long cage 9 spd rear derrailleur
Can't wait to hear the answer, Richard
