Cassette Recommendation
I currently have a road bike with 50/34 chain rings and a 11/28 cassette. As I have added additional roads and courses to my riding I'm up against a few more really tough hills. I can make it up the tougher ones but it's not easy. Last year during a club ride fearing persecution I resisted an enormous temptation to dare I say get off and walk.
I would like to change my cassette to make things just a touch easier and I was debating on my cassette choice between a 11/30 and 11/32. From what I have gathered since I have the Shimano short cage derailleur I would need to change that out regardless of which size cassette I get. What are the thoughts on this, wold going from 28 to 30 be perceptible? Do I loose some of the smooth shifting going to 32? I don't think I want to go to 34 just yet.
