With shimano you can get away with a short cage rear derailleur on a 11-28 cassette :D

Cheers guys, I will see what I have got lying around the shed before I go get a compact, think I may be alright with a dinner plate on the back as you put it Andrew.

Cheers

Hmmm, not sure about that, I think if someone can walk up the hill faster than it takes you to ride up it, even on your fancy hat contraption, I say take your shoes off and walk up. I hope I never have to encounter a 32% hill, my knees are screaming at me on that 25%er in Cranleigh.

Cheers

It's a bit hill specific :lol: , descending would be a bit hairy.
