not sure if this is the right place to post this. ohwell.
I have a Secteur Sport Compat 2011 cranks are 50-39-30, cassette 12-25, if i had know about my chain stretching when i first started i wouldn't be posting here.
Anyways, after noticing the teeth on the crank and cassette were mangled and replacing just the chain wouldn't help, I've decided i'm going to replace the cassette, crankset, and chain. I was wondering if when i go to replace the cassette, chain and crankset, how much room would i have for a smaller "small" chain ring, or a larger granny gear. I live in the hills, so every time i go for a ride i do have a climb on the way home, and some of the grads just don't let you spin in the lowest of gears after a long ride. As for the big gears they're suitable for descents and awsome on the flats(if i have the gas).
any advice about gearing set ups you have tried would be awsome.
ps:i noticed the chain skipping after about 800km, and have just been putting up with it. After 3000km+ i can't even use the smallest cogs on the cassette.
