How is that possible? Take a taxi to the top of each hill?I do most of the riding on flat and down hill areas.
If you use the same cadence (crank RPM) compared to the 12 tooth cog, the 11 will increase your speed by 9.1% (12/11=1.091)sp103154 said:Will I get added force with the 11 tooth cog and will I need to replace the chain for this change?

As stated, unless changind the number of speeds, 9 to 10, chanis are replaced based on wear and stretch.sp103154 said:I bought a Shimano cassette 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-25 to replace a 12-13-14-16-18-19-21-24-27 as I do most of the riding on flat and down hill areas.

The funny thing about this is it is much less likely to break your chain. The force runs in one smooth curve without any big peaks. The most likely person to break a chain is a mtber going up a very steep hill in a granny gear. The acceleration is so great and the gear so low that the force runs in a series of very high peaks. compared to a high gear that is. That is why the greatest number of chain breaks comes from steep uphills in the lowest possible gear.John M said:Technically, there will be greater chain tension when you are riding on the 11T cog than when the chain is on the 12T, but the differences should be neglible in terms of what this means for chain wear.
