Hi all,

I'm running a 32t chainring and bash at the moment (the fsa maximus DH chainset) with a 11-32t cassette at the back(here).

I'm finding that on faster sections i'm running out of gears and am left spinning the cranks. I assume that in order to improve things i need a new road cassette? Or am i better buying a new chainring? The riding I do is a bit of jumping and DH...

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction and recommend something to me!

Thanks,

Tom

    If you're spinning out on 11x32 then you need a bigger chainring, or a smaller sprocket on your cassette. I think you can get a 9t for a moulton but price would prohibit that.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    you can not get smaller than 11T on a cassette. bigger chain ring needed.
