Wanted: 11 tooth gear for 7 speed cassette

[MontyVeda]

Found it at 2nd attempt, in the very first place I looked.

I just need your address MV.

Arrived this morning... didn't hesitate in throwing it on and going for a quick spin. The one tooth really does make a small but significant difference. Thank you sir!

I can't quite believe all this fuss to get an 11 tooth sprocket. All this could have been saved if you simply learn to pedal properly and have a good cadence on a slightly lower gear. Quite some years ago when I did my PB for a 25 mile TT (49min 4 secs) a certain Chris Boardman rode the same event using a fixed gear bike running a 52 x 13 gear and won the race in 47 mins 7 secs, an average speed of 31.85 MPH! Pedal properly and this is what can be achieved.

Dear Mr PB, I think you should maybe broaden your view a little. Maybe the OP, and others on the thread, aren't running a big cog on the front. I would appreciate spare single 11T cogs for a bike wihose largest front chainring is 42. This means that I use the 11T a fair bit, too much probably.

Maybe we can look forward to an ongoing blog of tips on pedalling, lightened with a few lubricated anecdotes of how he rubbed along with Chris Boardman.

is there much difference, ratio wise between 52:13 and 42:11... thought not.
