Hi everyone! I recently got a Cannondale Supersix Evo HiMod with 11-28t cassette. Since I'm having a hard time getting the sweet spot on 52/19 and or 52/21, I'd plan to get the 14-28t ultegra as it has 20t.

My worry is that the 14t cog might not fit perfectly on the bike as its teeth might touch with the chainstay. Anyone has tried it yet?

TIA!

Sorry can't help you with your question, but don't let the 1x people see this... They'll lose their minds over this 1 tooth spacing problem you're having lol!

I can almost help.


For junior gearing requirements, I have that cassette on my son's roadbike.


His is an older six six and the 14t fits without issue.

Wow. That's precision cycling for you.

I find the wind is a big influencer on my gear choice.

you could switch to the 11-32, cause it has a 20, but you'll be missing other gear combo's...

Why not pull the cassette off, take the 14 tooth and move it to the bottom of the cassette and then put it back on the wheel and put the wheel in? You won't be able to screw on the lock ring but you should be able to push it on and get an idea of whether or not it will strike the chain stay.

sorry for that dumb question mate, just cant help it.

really? well glad to know that! thanks for the reply!


I agree. however, during normal condition I really feel that 52/19 makes my legs get tired easily or it's just me.

thanks mate, yep it has 20t. but the jumps in between casssetts are huge

good suggestion mate. will try this! thanks!

I'm in the same boat running between 21 and 19. I actually didn't even know they made a 14-28t, but I'm going to make the switch very soon to gain the 20 and 18. Thanks for the post and good luck with your upgrade.

May not work since the 14t cassette may not have the lock ring

Get a sugino 46/32 if you are worried about gearing.
