Interesting reading about cassette ratio's.
I have a Dynatech MT4 and want to replace the 7 speed cassette.
What ratios would suit a 7 speed?
I'm pretty much a novice on these things so am not too up to date on what ratio suits what?
Reading on Sheldon brown, the guy says his favourite set up on 7 speed is 13-28 T
"...Of all the cassettes listed below, the one I [John Allen] like best is the Shimano M cassette. It has an even progression of ratios, without a big jump in the middle like many other Shimano cassettes (including 8- and 9-speeds!). With triple chainrings, the M cassette provides a very nice selection of drive ratios...."
I like the sound of that!
I wonder what others prefer (7 speed) and why?
And are these cassettes (13-28T) available? Any lightweight drilled type models?
In CRC and Wiggle all I see are Shimano Sora HG50 7 Speed MTB Cassette 12-21 and 12-28, HG41 Acera 11-28
and a SRAM PG730 12-32, BBB BCS 07S 12-28/12-32.
Another Question, What was the HG90 7 speed cassette like?
Cheers
