Mine is a 10 speed, only 2 years old but I was concerned that the 28T cassette was dependent on a new derailleur that had a slightly greater chain wrap capacity or something.

I was intrigued by one poster that said that a 30T gear would actually work.


Jim,
I picked up my compact equipped bike today, and, the service manager verified that 28T will work with a 10 speed group.
I have a 9 speed with a 25T rear, he believes 27 is my max.

Did 10 miles on the new compacts, no real climbs but hills are more manageable. I hate riding in an urban area, stopping, fumes, itot drivers! Hmm time to look for a new 27T for next year.
