Thanks, Mitch. Another lister mentioned these to me offlist recently, and I’ll keep them in mind. As it is, I’ve ordered a 14-32 (only 1 remaining in stock) and 14-30 11-speed cassettes from Bike Inn and I’ll soon learn — I hope — what cogs need to be switched and if I can switch them. If I can get the 14-15-16-17-18-19-20 sequence, the rest is less important.
Funny: I never bothered with mathematical exactitude in choosing my cog sequences. I know what gear inches and gaps I like for different types of riding, for cruising especially, and also for uphills and downhills, and aim to get as close as I can to those.
