It is time for me to change my cassette and chain. I want a little lower gearing to start doing more hill climbing, I have been a little lazy. I am also still learning to work on my bikes.
My set up now is Ultegra 6700 11/25 rear cassette with Ultegra 6700 compact 50/34 crank and Ultegra 6700 shifters. I want to go to an Ultegra 6700 11/28 cassette and will probably go with the Ultegra 6701 chain.
Will the shifters handle the jump up to the larger rear cog? The chain I have is hyperglide as is the 6701 chain so I am hoping it will work ok as well. I just don't want to order it and come to find out there is something I was not aware of.
I guess I will get a chain whip and cassette tool while I am doing all this too.
