If I'm going to buy a new cassette, my question is this, sometimes for Ultegra components, it says 12-25, and then some 12-25t or 12-27t. What does the T stand for, or does it really stand for nothing? and 12 27 is easier to ride than 12 25 correct?

t or T stands for teeth and even if it doesn't have a t or a T after the number it still means teeth.

yes. it will be easier to pedal at a higher cadence with a 27t cog than with a 25t cog.

Nah. Your 27 is for hills. It will be easier to climb.
