- I have two sets of 7-speed hyperglide cog cassettes. One has a small cog
- of 12 teeth and the large cog is 28 teeth. The other cassette has the
- smallest cog with 13 teeth and the largest cog has 32 teeth.
-
- Using that second cassette (with the 32 tooth cog) and my granny chainring
- with 28 teeth, results in a really low 23.5" gear ratio.
-
- Those hyperglide cassettes were purchased at a local bike shop for about
- US$20 each.
