I currently run a 11/28 and seem to cope with almost all of the hills around the flatlands of essex. Recently I did a 50mile ride with a group and somehow we seemed to stumble of 9! Yes 9 catogery climbs around Suffolk and essex. Non of which I failed on but a couple I felt I could of done with that final gear to help ease the pain off my knees.

So the question is does anyone have one laying about gathering dust. So I can try it out and see if it helps.

You probably should say what rear derailleur and speeds it's for.

Just looking at the bike it seems as if I have a standard possibly long size shimano derailleur but my knowledge is limited about this type of thing.

Speed wise again a little green in this area but I currently have 8 cogs on the rear making the bike a 16 speed??? Is that right.

The bike is a Carrera virtuoso I think probably a 2009 model.

Sorry for the lack of info still learning all the little details.

Ill have a look , i took a wide range cassette of my subway , 8 speed .
You will need a long cage rear mech to run it though .

sorry my mistake i actually meant if stevec047 was selling his old cassette ie 11 to 28 after he fitted your cassette i would be interested,, many thanks for reply but tbh unless i was to change rear derailleur then a 32 rear would be to large for the group set i have for my project bike ( love 7/8 speeds due to long lasting chainwheels, chain and cassette and biopace) i will build over the next few weeks please note picture.ttfn and thanks again.
ps i know not to clamp this type of frame onto repair stand its just resting there.

Hi the current cassette already has been spoken for as I am going to fit it on my training wheel for the winter months as I doubt I will need to worry to much about hills when sat on the turbo trainer. Plus it allows me to swap back to a 28 at a later date once fitness levels are better and the hills have flattered out l.
