Can you "customize" cassettes much? Back with freewheels, a few (smallest) came threaded, and then the rest (slide on) you could mix and match virtually anything. Now I guess the smallest and intermediate are highly customizable, but the group of biggest ones are pre-manufactured. Right? (small means small cogs and vice versa, not gears) Plus...when I was a junior, we ran a 53X15. What do the youngin's do nowadays?

| Looks like a 32 but anything more than a 4 drop would not make sense and looks unlikely from that image. Likely 11-32T: 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-22-25-28-32 |

| Nick, a junior (under 18) that I ride with often is on 52x14 but has his bike rolled out at all races just to be sure....26 feet is the limit. |

You guys have it all wrong. It's just a European adaptation of American cuisine. Cob of corn served on a pie plate.

I guess the 52X14 works...it was 30 years ago. LOL. They may have upped the roll out distance. I think that might not have worked way back when.

Nick, smaller wheels? I recall 15s being necessary way back when.

79pmooney...maybe. Someone convinced me I could get a slightly taller gear with a 49X14 and I failed rollout. Luckily it was before the race, and I borrowed a lower profile tire and made it. It was a six turn criterium and I got so dropped. Oh well. LOL.

A month or so ago the entire junior field in a local race was DQ'ed over gearing |

| Pretty sure Shimano make all the various cadet, pee wee and junior cassettes. |

| Dale, too funny! Did any of the parents lose their $hit and throw wheels and bottles onto the course? :-) That, I would have paid to see. |

| Roll out: Gear inches is, as you likely know, represent size of a gear. Theoretically, it measures the number of inches a bike rolls from one turn of the crank. In reality, it can vary depending on the true out to out (rear) wheel diameter. |

Nah, it was just a local Tuesday evening training race so nobody blew a gasket, besides they all knew who finished where so it didn't matter that they were DQ'd on a technicality. The official rolling his eyes at the spectacle was the best part |
