Are the smaller sizes for the road bike setup?

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

If I understand the question correctly, yes. The larger numbers of teeth on the largest cog are useful for maximizing the torque you apply to the rear wheel from a given amount of crank torque, and that's useful mostly for going up hills. I installed the largest size on my road bike this spring because I had some rides scheduled in hilly terrain (particularly, the Redbud Ride). That said, a nice low "granny gear" can be pretty convenient for any sort of riding on any kind of bicycle, I think. Good luck!

Katie,I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I did use this on one of my existing road bikes. It was a fairly simple process, if you have the right tools. I have not had any problem with the cassette since my purchase. Now, whether or not this could be used on a mountain bike I don't see why it couldn't. The main distinction between road and mountain bike are in the crank (what your pedals fit to ). Mountain bike cranks tend to be much smaller. Let me know if this clears things up for you.

Btw. Yes these are typically used on a mountain bike but can also be a nice addition for riding big hills in KY. Most 30 speed tourers have these 11-32 to help when climbing hills with lots if weight. Hope this helps. Ps. I called my tech in boulder to see if this would work and he said no problem.

No - they would be too large. I would suggest you visit a bike shop to locate an appropriate size.

Yes.FYI, 700C is the standard size diameter for a road bike wheel.23 mm is the tire width. A wheel that will take 23 mm tires will also take 25 mm, maybe 28 mm (or larger); although you bike frame or fork may not have clearance for larger sizes.

No, and the pedals are smaller than what I'm used to. Fortunately I was able to take the pedals with straps off my old bike and use them on this one.

Yes, they'll almost certainly fit your bike. Dimensions are for any modern road style bicycle with 9,10,11 speed Shimano/SRAM hub. You will need to add your own Shimano-compatible cassette.

Thanks for the inquiry. These are an universal bag for sport and sport touring style bikes. Depending on your model you may need saddlebag supposts to make fit.Best regardsRichard

Sorry Jeff, I don't know the size. I am pretty sure pedals are standard size.

They should fit if you have standard handlebars. I have aftermarket miniApes on my Yamaha but it was that standard size and they fit beautifully. Just make sure you use glue or grip tape on the bars so the grips do not slide.

The item fit for mountain bikes, road bikes, and folding bikes too. Also, you may think about the size of the item:Size: 82" x 43".

Yes. The difference between mountain and road pedals is in the shoes they are compatible with, not the bikes. Pedals are standard across all bike types.

No. They are not compatible. I have two bikes, one road bike, another touring one. The road bike is on Shimano Ultegra RD6600, while the touring bike is on Deore XT system. Their mounting mechanism to the bikes are different and not interchangeable as far as I can tell and try.

Yes, but the size is the most important part. If you know your bike size you can order online, if not goto a local bike store to get measured before ordering online.

correct. The small parts kit is a separate item. The hubs usually are either non disc or disc You would have to ask Shimanos Tech dept on that. You'll also need to buy the locking washers for installing the hub to the bikes dropouts.

I think it would have a better chance than with a full sized road bike. I couldn't get it to fit the frame - it was just too small and awkward. I do not recommend this bag.

I've got a Specialized road bike and the mount easily adapted to fit the bigger tube. Worth the money and worth a try!

They fit a variety of diameters of handlebars. I have them on both my road bike and modified Mt bike. I don't have the specific specs though.
