SunRace 11-42t 10sp Cassette, Part 3
Показать описание
Installed a new, longer chain, some adjustments and everything is working great!
I installed a new 10sp KMC chain and instead of removing 1 link as I normally do, I left the chain full length. Also backed out the B-tension screw until the upper jockey wheel just cleared the 42t cog of the cassette and shifting was perfect. I can shift into all 30 gear combinations and can back pedal in the small-large combination without dropping the chain.
Overall with a 42-32-20 triple up front and an 11-42 in back, I have a 802% gear ratio range from 13.2" up to 105".
Very happy with the lower gear for steep climbs. My only real complaint is the 15t - 18t jump in the high cogs. That 20% jump is right in the ratios I use a lot on the road. I'm getting used to it, but when you are at 100RPM in the 18t and then shift to the 15t, your cadence drops to 80.
I guess the only way to improve that is an 11sp cassette but that entails new mechs, new shifters, new wheel/free hub and likely a new frame. May as well get a whole new bike if replacing that many components.
