My front chainrings are 36/50 and my current rear cassette is 10 speed 12-25. I want to fit a new rear cassette which is 10 speed 12-28, would 2 extra chain links be advisable or not ?

Thanks

    Suggest fit the cassette and chain and see if it is OK in big big. If not, add links! (and then check that it is still OK in small small).

    Just bear in mind that Shimano 10 spd chain links do not have reusable pins so the safest way to join the chain would be to use a spare inner link from the chain and then a KMC Missing Link, etc., as the outer link.
