I've got an Ultegra triple crank that came stock with a 30T small
chainring. The 30T, when coupled with the stock 12-25 cassette doesn't
quite have low enough gearing for some really steep climbs (in other
words I'm not in good enough shape).
Anyway I've looked at getting a larger cassette, which I could do
later, but for now I'm getting a smaller small chainring. The options
are 24, 26 and 28T. I can get the 24 in aluminum or steel and the
larger ones in aluminum only. I always get steel for the small
mountainbike chainrings but I'm not sure here, as these are alot larger
than the 20T small chainrings that I run on mountain bikes.
Also, as far as the cassettes go, I assume an XT 9 speed cassette would
be compatible with an Ultegra 9 speed cassette.
Is that true?
Any help appreciated.

Eric
