Hi
Im new to this forum,so forgive me if this subject has been raised before.
I want to upgrade my 5's wheels and cassette,has anyone got any advise as to the best set up and what will fit straight on to the bike.
I was looking at a set of Fulcrums with an 11-32 shimano HG50 cassette.
Thanks

Fulcrum are good, you are likely 9 speed triple, so may need a spacer (which will likely come with the wheels) - just check the spec of your rear mech to see max cassette cog size. IMHO 32 on the rear with a triple (30 granny cog front) is either chosen for 30+% hills or touring with panniers, as a tad spinny for normal riding. 11 - 28 or if you must, 11 - 30 are better spaced and will change gear smoother, either should get you up the steep stuff, except for MTBesque gradients that are rare.

Thats great I live in the chilterns so plenty of nasty hills,so I'll probably go for the 11-28. Cheers for the advice,Ive had my T5 for 2 years,and I'm starting to spec it up now.

Is it the HG50 I should go for?
