What gears do pro cyclists use?

What gears do pro cyclists use?

Pros often use a 55×11-tooth high gear for time trials. On flat or rolling stages they might have 53/39T chainrings with an 11-21T cassette. In moderate mountains they switch to a large cog of 23T or 25T. These days, they’ve joined the big-gear revolution like many recreational riders.

What does an 11 32 cassette mean on a bike?

That means the outer ring has 50 teeth and the inner ring has 34 teeth. The rear cassette is 11 speed 11-32. This means there are 11 cogs ranging from 11 teeth up to 32 teeth (the exact cogs are 11/12/13/14/16/18/20/22/25/28/32).

Which is better 11-30 or 11-28?

There isn’t really a large enough difference to sweat it. If you would have had a really hard time with the 11-28, you’ll only have had a slightly less really hard time with the 11-30. I’d go for the 11-30, just because.

What’s the difference between 11-32 and 11-28 cassettes?

That aside, can any of you give your thoughts on any noticeable difference between the two cassettes particularly when it comes to hills. Thanks. Quite a big difference, if she regularly uses the 32, then going back to a 28 will feel tough. I notice a big difference moving from 11-25 to 11-28. 11-32 anytime, much easier on hills.

Which is easier to climb 11-32 or 11-34?

Plus a bit of weight of cause. If your finding you can climb ok on the 11-32 you currently have you probably don’t need the larger cog. 11-34 has slightly bigger gaps in the lower half of the block, and an easier bottom gear. 11-32 has the opposite.

Which is easier 11-32 or 11-34 teeth?

11-34 has slightly bigger gaps in the lower half of the block, and an easier bottom gear. 11-32 has the opposite. Personally I’d always go for 11-34, I see no real reason not to. so 34 teeth just makes the climbing easier? or does it make a difference in other gears too.
