Hi everyone at Cycling Forums, New to these pages and need some advice. Just bought a new road bike a Trek 1.1and am getting on fine with except ( due to my age) I need a lower bottom gear to climb the steep ones,don,t want to spend loadsamoney on this problem so have found on the net some Shimano Acera HG41 8speed cassettes, raitios being 11-30 11-32 11-34. The ratio on my bike I think is 12-25, which one would you advise me to go for? and they the same fitting?. Your help on this would be appreciated me being a novice in this and thanks in advance for your thoughts Shakie.
