B'Twin Triban 105 Cassette Upgrade

[Longman1234]

I recently bought this bike and although I am new to road bikes I am loving it.

I do have a question though, the rear cassette on mine is 11 speed ranging from 11teeth to 28teeth. I was wondering what options exist for changing it to a 32 teeth big cog so I have a bit more range on steep hills?

Thanks

Here is a link to the bike....

Yep, the rear mech cage will take a 32 tooth sprocket, you almost certainly will need a longer chain. 116 link will do. I have a Triban 520, I've upgraded it to 540 spec, but have gone to 11-28, I don't need a 32 sprocket, but I doubt very much the standard 114 link chain would be long enough.

Have you considered not doing it just yet but waiting until you are a bit stronger in the legs, so you won't need the extra-low gearing ?

Otherwise, above advice is good. I had to go for a longer-cage hanger when I went from a 30 to 34 (injury and age, of course .... [cough])
