Changing cassette

I have a 9 speed compact 34-50 with 12-25 cassette. Would like to make it a bit easier on the hills. If i change the cassette to 12-27 will anything else have to be changed? Also it looks as though Tiagra and 105 do not do 12-27 in 9 speed but Ultegra do, is this right?

No, nothing else would need to be changed.
Don't know about Tiagra/105/Ultegra but you could also look at BBB from Parker International - could be much cheaper???0 -
12-27 will be ok, nothing will need to be changed
Ultegra will be a bit expensive, have a look at SRAM they do a 12-28 or something similar which will work fine also.He is not the messiah, he is a very naughty boy !!0 -
SRAM only go to 26 on 9 speed.0

I recently did the same and went upto a 27 Ultegra, and I'm on a triple :oops:
The only adjustment I had to make was to the b-tension screw as the jockey wheel was touching the largest sprockett when in the lowest gear.
worth it for me though, it makes the Derbyshire hills almost enjoyable !Wind. Cold. Rain. Pick two.0 -
Thanks for that everyone.0
