Hello All, I want to get lower gearing on my tourer. Not sure whether to go for a cassette with 36T lowest cog or an inner chainring, say, 24T, on the triple. Are there any mechanical issues that I should be aware of before buying? I.e., which route do you reckon would cause less set up problems? I've got a long throw rear mech and I'm inclined to go for the cassette option on the basis that the tolerances on the existing front mech seem a tad restricted: I've got to ensure I plan ahead for changes to the inner ring as it is - or won't the size of the inner ring make any difference? Existing set up is 32T lowest cog on the cassette and a 28T inner chainring.
Any thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated.
