    Is it worth upgrading to 11-27T casette?

    Thanks for the feedback folks. I'll certainly be keeping the original cassette, but from my perspective it does seem to make sense to get a 11/12-27 for the hills!

    Is it worth upgrading to 11-27T casette?

    I've an 11-23 cassette on my bike right now & i'm thinking of changing the cassette to an 11 or 12-27T cassette. The only reason i'm thinking of doing this is that i'm not a good/natural climber (i'm 15 stone..) and i'm looking to get more involved in organised rides this year, I'm thinking...

    Upgrading my Claude Butler San Remo

    The seat is quite comfortable so I'll probably just focus on the wheels, thanks for the advice.

    Upgrading my Claude Butler San Remo

    No, absolutely not. I'm not selling anything, nor have I any association/ties with anyone selling. There's nothing wrong with the bike per-se (the gear change could be a bit sharper if I was being critical.). I'll have a look at wheels. Thanks.

    Upgrading my Claude Butler San Remo

    "shill something"? -not sure what you mean. I'm new to road cycling as such (ie, bought my first "proper" road bike earlier this year; obviously excluding BMX & a mountain bike as a kid..), I'm really enjoying the cycling and looking to get more involved, I've already bought proper cycling...

    Upgrading my Claude Butler San Remo

    I have a Claude Butler San Remo road bike, I'm looking to upgrade it bit by bit (I can't afford to go buy a new bike outright). My question is what order should I buy the components? ie; new frame first followed by chainset then wheels etc etc... Thanks!
