Quick question. Will the lockring on my 12-25 cassette fit a 13-26? and whilst you are at it how much difference will i notice with the 26 on the hills over a 25, I'm guessing not much - is it worth paying out for a new one or not?

cheers

    Lockring will fit fine, you only need a different one to go down to an 11. I wouldn't expect one tooth to make any real difference, have you considered a compact chainset? If you have a square taper BB the cranks are being sold off very cheaply now UT cranks are out.

    Cheers Garybee, I'll look into the compacts.

    The 26 will only make a slight difference compared to the 25, but you'll effectively get an extra sprocket in the middle with the 13-26 cassette.
