Today’s QoW is another from our own Coach David Ertl. It follows the theme of the last 2 weeks’ questions of upgrading (or not). NOTE: you may find this Question under Past Questions of the Week on the QoW page.
(We really need to replenish our stock of Questions! Please submit you own QoW ideas using the Question of the Week Ideas link.)

10!!! The 11,12 cassettes are just a profit driven item that is not necessary.
10 on my road bike & 11 on my gravel bike which goes on the road, sometimes.
sadly the industry is phasing 10 out – I’m a campy fan and unless I downgrade quality, the 10v system is no longer available. Profit and $$$$$$$. tha extra gears may enhance the day for the elite riders in the world peleton but but cyclists in hgeneral, nothing!
