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.

Yes but they will look hideous. They are no where the size they look on here. We were looking for the "road king" look and so we put them on. Needless to say, we are selling them. If you like the small saddle bag look then they will be ok.

I would go with a "Tri Bike" They are set up differently than a standard road bike.

Hi! The space to fit the wheel is 2.5 inches wide. The 33x700 wheels of my CX bike fit well. The issue I am facing is the very small distance between the two wheels racks. It is only 8.5 inches. distance (or about 21cm). Since average road bikes have handlebars of 44cm, two bikes next to each other will not fit (unless alternating them front and back, but then the front wheel will start turning around and bikes might scratch each other). You might be better off with MTBs, depending if the handlebars are at the same hight and touch each other or not.... On hind site, I would get either two individual separate stands that I can put at any distance I need, or a Feedbakk Sports stand that can be staggered (a bit more expensive, but solves the problem in limited spaces, see: http://www.amazon.com/Feedback-Sports-Bicycle-Storage-Stand/dp/B001F9V842/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409342568&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=feedbakk+rack ). I hope this helps. good luck!

I am not certain. It would appear to fit a standard road or cruiser bike. Don't think you would want to get going too fast on these, though.

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

Honestly any pedal at your local bike shop would fit perfectly fine as long as it's a bmx pedal because they are bigger. I have just some random bmx pedal on my fixed gear and I think it's the best. There is no difference in others.

I purchased the three bike version, as what the heck, not much larger and CAN hold three bikes if need be.

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.

yes. i used the small ones for front panniers and they need to separate for the front rack which rides lower.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

I had a men's road bike and a women's town bike and they both fit fine. The rubber "cradles" that hold the bikes swivel so they can rotate to accept the angled seat post and angled front frame of the women's bike. Had to figure it out, but it all worked in the end.

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

Match up the size. I put a pair of these on my Fuji Mountain bike. They are marketed by Schwinn, but not proprietary to any brand.

Probably not this set is a larger set and work for a mountain bike but not for a road bike

No, these are made for mountain bikes so these would not be good choice for a road bike.
