Just found out that i need to change the gearing on my bike totally for racing.
Does anyone know were i can get a cassette from were it has 14t- as the gearing? I need to have a 52x14 setup but cant find a cassette to suit. Apart from some at stupid prices which i cant afford!!

    Try Miche, Ambrosio, BBB - or just lock out the last two sprockets on a std cassette.

    yes you would be (potentially) missing four ratios - that's the whole point ;)

    BBB do a 14-25 Shimano/SRAM compatible cassette for £41.95 on ebay. I had the same issue for my son who is racing Under 16's and he needed a 46 tooth chain ring and a 14-25 cassette. I bought an Ultegra 14-25 which I managed to get from Wiggle for £53.95 and I bought a 46 tooth FSA chain ring for £15 from Planet X as they were half price. Look around for a 52 tooth chain ring as they can be bought cheaply if you search around. Good luck.

    Yes Shimano used to do a Jr. range from the 6600 Ultegra groupset. If you scour the internet you can still find some from Wiggle (mentioned above), EBAY, Amazon, Various other UK and Euro shops, etc. I believe they did various versions from 13-25, 14, 15-25, and 16-27 as well. http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techd ... 608752.pdf
