I have a touring bike with 44 and 28 at the front and 13-32 at the back. I got two cassettes, a 13-23 from a junior racing range and a 11--32 MTB one. I split them, keeping everything in order, and then took 5 cogs from the road one giving close ratios at the higher end, and four from the MTB giving wider range down low
I'm liking this idea, what does that give you with spread wise on the cassette and is the shifting still smooth? From what I've read elsewhere but have no experiance of, the world seems split on how important the ramps etc area and how they effect shifting if there not aligned as designed. Not that its a major issue as I'm hardly racing or in any rush for a quick shift and it must have worked before they designed ramps, pins and all the other gubbins!
