I'm about to do a ride with a 5 mile 5% to 7% climb. That's tough for me at 64. I've been told that I can replace my Shimano 11-28 cassette with a Sram 11-34. All that is required is to back the "B" screw out to allow the derailluer to clear the 34. Sounds reasonable to me, but I would like to hear from some one who has used this combo.
The second gear on the Sram is 28, same as my current low gear and I intend to use the 34 as a bail out when my heart rate gets too high. Have any of you personally tired this combo and what do you think?
The chain rings are 50-34 and I realize that I need to not go from the 50 chain ring to the 34 rear.
Thanks in Advance
