Miche cassette

[Mick F]

Hi Martin,
I wanted to keep the 29t big cog, but have the cassette re-done so I could have a 12t little sprocket.

13-29 10sp Campag is:
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26, 29

I wanted the similar tooth differences - but with a 12t
So I bought:
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 29

In opinion, this is a FAR better setup than the Campag offering.

Mick.

Mick, are you using a long cage derailleur with that combination?

No.
Medium Chorus.
I have a Chorus Triple chainset 30/42/53 as well.

The capacity of my gearing is (29-12)+(53-30)=40

I guess the standard Miche 12-29 cassette must be 12,13,14,15,17,19,21,23,26,29 rather than the ratios you wanted. Did it cost much more to buy the sprockets individually?

[Mick F]

YES!
Rather too much, but it will last years and I'm happy.
£104 - not much if say it quickly.

Mick, where did you get the custom cassette? I've been thinking - I could use a ShimaNO splined Campag spaced 9 speed cassette for my touring bike.

Hi Martin,
I was asking about Custom Cassettes on here and on the CTC Forum as I wanted something specific, as you can tell from the links. (above)

It was Jazclrint on this forum who sorted me out. He's in the US, so I sent the money via PayPal.

We swapped a PM or two and the job was done! Send him a PM and see what he says.

Regards,
Mick.

The coating seems to be better than my previous cassette - 2006 Centaur - and is definitely shinier. The Centaur was dull and boring. Even my old Mirage cassettes were nicer looking than the Centaur.
