Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

11 speed cassettes

I am setting cassette production for 2025 and, with more 12 speed on the market, I am wondering what we should set as a priority.

So, if you are still running 11 speed Shimano/Sram, what gearing do you prefer?

See the attached poll for results and thanks to the BF braintrust.

I used to get by with 11/28 but as I'm aging, those hills are getting steeper. 11/32 is now my preferred and what I buy for replacements.

11-40T

Why was it not listed, or 11-34T, 11-36T, 11-42T, etc.?

Can’t answer because it would all depend on where I was riding. So 11/28 to 11/40.
