Hi Guys.
I'm new to this forum and joined because I was looking for some advice. I have never really taken much notice of gear ratio's before but as I am going to attempt Alpe d'Huez this summer i thought I better look into it a bit.
I ride a bianchi road bike with a campag veloce groupset (53/39) with a 9 speed 13/26 cassette on the back. Looking at the cassettes in bike stores I can only get a 13/28 cassette and I wondered if this is going to make any difference to my climbing?
Any thoughts would be welcome
Cheers
