Even using the 36t with a 11-32 doesn't really help though combined with a 48t big ring. If you used a 36/44 instead however, here's your gears, https://www.gear-calculator.com/?GR=DERS&KB=44,36&RZ=11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32&UF=2280&TF=90&SL=2.6&UN=KMH&DV=gearInches You have a split between every gear !
I look at cassette hubs as a kind of effed up thing in that the innermost cog position is at such an angle I consider it worthless, and the outermost not far behind. The sweet spot is the 7 in between for optimal chain angles with 2 or more rings. So forget about the old idea about finding a smaller range cassette for that reason. You don't need the 11 or the 32 anyways even if you could, so leave them and ride the 12-28 7 speed in between. See ? There's your "smaller" cassette which when combined with the 36/44 will give you all the gears and half gears you'll need. 110 bcd 44t rings from Origin8 are easy to find online. On my Bombadil I ride 24/36/44 with a 12-36, though I never use and have locked out the 12 and 36. I have all the gears and a halves I need. The straw-man argument against not using cogs is a waste... or too heavy ..... hah hah .....ask the straw-man how much the straw-man weighs and compared to what.... and watch a circus ensue . ..... And if a 44/12 is considered "too small" .... hah hah again ...... Enjoy the Ride ! And a Smile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
