This requires closely spaced gears to fine tune the cadence and speed.<br />2) Fast group rides, where you need to match the speed of the group, but can only ride at a narrow cadence range for optimal comfort.<br /><br />Commuting is nearly always a solo ride, therefore you can always find a comfortable cadence and speed on any cassette. Riding up bridges requires lower gears as well, which means a wider range cassette.<br />I would suggest a 11-30T, 11-32T or even 11-36T cassette.

As for trigger, I can use any trigger ? Chain 9 speed length? <br /><br />If I go for 3 speed, is 11 to 17 or any recommendations?
