Hi all,
thanks to all those who pointed me in the right direction in choosing a
new bike. I now have a shiny new Giant TCR Zero to play with.
Although the bike shop people were generally helpful, they did recoil
in shock when I asked if I could swap the standard 11-23T rear cassette
for a 12-27T.
Basically their attitude was that swapping to a 12-27 was sacrilege on
a Dura-ace equipped bike, and that if that's what I really wanted, then
maybe I should be looking at the comfort range...(hey, but it's MY
bike, I thought)
Now, I don't consider myself to be a wuss, but it's nice to have those
larger cogs for use on some hills, especially on the odd occasion I'm
feeling a bit flat.
What do you guys (and girls) think? Should I give the 11-23 a go? (They
can't readily get their hands on a 12-27, but have a 12-25 in stock).
Thanks in advance,
Tony.
