[QUOTE="fudge, post: 7462836, member: 3047"] TBF these bikes are pretty pricey, I would hope the retailer would set you up with the gearing you want if you are paying full price! That probably won’t apply to an internet bargain though. I think a 32 cassette will work if the rear mech can handle a 30. The difference between a 30 and 32 is marginal but I think I would have a 32 in Wales! I haven’t read all the specs of the bikes I posted links to, so check the size of the chain rings as well. I guess the defy models will have 50/34 on the front whilst the TCR may have 52/36 which is obviously a higher gear. Again those can be changed but that’s more money than a cassette, if money is no object you can have any gear on any bike!!⚙️⚙️⚙️££££ [/QUOTE]
