I recently got a “new” bike to replace my stolen one, and my one complaint about is that the lowest gear is still too high for some of the hills I ride on. Now, I counted 26 teeth on the largest gear on the cassette. Can I just get a new cassette with more teeth, adjust the derailleur and be done?
There’s an 8 speed shimano cassette with 30 teeth on a bent wheel in the bike storage… I’m tempted to make use of that, it’s been there for at least a year, probably wheel was locked and someone stole the rest.
I hope I don’t need a longer chain, I changed it just yesterday
