I want to upgrade my Cassette/Freewheel to something that will make it easier to climb hills. I am going to be doing a very hilly 90km race and want to make it a bit easier. What is the best cassette to upgrade to? 11-28T or can I go as far as an 11-32T cassette? Also I believe I will have to upgrade my rear derailleur, what would you recommend I upgrade to and do I then need to upgrade my front derailleur or will it be okay? Any advice would be great, including actual model numbers if possible..
Cheers
