Smash the cistern
Does such a thing exist?
I'm getting the CdF ready for winter so I've got some spiked tyres, but I think I need to lower my gearing a bit. Currently running a compact 50-34 with a 12-25 cassette and a Sora 3400 GS (I think) mech. I reckon a 12-30 cassette would do but I can't find one.
I can find an 11-30, but that would leave me with a high gear I'm unlikely to use with spikes, and questionable capacity on the mech, and a 12-27 which I think would not be quite low enough. So any ideas? And does 34/30 seem low enough for icy weather in a hilly area? I'm not sure if my mech could handle a 32.
