Campagnolo Cassette

    I'm replacing the Campag Centaur 11-25 Cassette on my bike.
    I can get a 12-25 cassette for almost half the price of an 11-25.
    Thinking of going for it as I'm rarely in the bottom sprocket anyway :o
    Firstly, should I go for this cheapo alternative?
    Secondly, is there anything I need to consider in terms of chain length, mech adjustment etc?
    Thanks

    What's the cheapo alternative? Are you going from Centaur to Veloce? I wouldn't worry about it.

    No adjustment needed, one extra tooth will not change anything.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Sorry, I didn't make my post clearer. The cheaper alternative I was talking about was going for the 12-25 rather than the 11-25, both are Centaur. I suppose what I was asking is will I notice a huge difference with the different ratio? I'm a two spins a week enthusiast who doesn't race. What do you think?

    If you don't use it regularly then for the most part you won't notice the lack of the 11. Even if you use it occasionally you should get by easily enough without it, you can just increase your cadence to compensate.

    The smallest cog on the bike that I use most regularly is a 13, and I get by fine on that (mind you, I'm not exactly a big strong lad).
