Right guys, just about to pull the plug and buy a Dolan Tuono road bike. I’ve got a choice of gearing 11/28 or 11/32
I’ll be riding around Surrey, Epsom, Dorking and box hill. I am no pro, what should I got for??? My current bike is a canyon road lite 6 and has 11/34

So what’s a good choice??
Thanks

In simple terms, if you go 11/28 the gaps between gears are slightly less... if you want a bit more climby, you want the 32... i can't see any reason to not go 32 in honesty..

11/32 will give you lower low gears and the same high gears, only thing to be aware of is the chain has to move further when you change gear compared with closer ratios
