(a) I never use the 11T cog (in the 11-28 cassette), so I will readily give that up to have the 16T cog (from the 12-25 cassette);
(b) The 18T cog (from the 12-25 cassette) is much appreciated, giving me a single tooth jump from 12T through 19T, but I would consider having a 28T cog instead.

I’m on a 52-36 with a 12-25. On an 11-25 I don’t like the skip from the 19 to the 17. Also, when it’s windy I’m on that 18 quite often.

Im on the 52 98% of the time where I ride at home/not on vacation.
