I am looking for opinions on 11-25T vs 11-28T for the cassettes. For Calgary paths and some mountain trips, what would you guys recommend? I will not be an all-star out there... but I want to build for right now and for how I will develop.
If your a small guy you could probably get away with the 11-25 for here and the mountains. I'm not small, I used the 11-28 and it does everything I want it to do around here and in the mountains (highwood, norquay, etc).
