Subject: Shimano Cassets, which one to get
I'm not very bike savvy and need some help understanding with cassets which one i should go with on my bike.

I see the diffferences with the #'s, but I'm not sure what it all means and which one would be best for me.
I know a lot of people on this board have a lot of bike knowledge and I'd appreciate it if someone could break down for me who benefits from which cassette.

Everything you ever wanted (and didn't want) to know about cassettes.

Basically, the higher the number of teeth, the easier it will be to pedal (i.e. having a 32 will make it a lot easier to climb hills, but at the expense of maxing out that gear at a relatively low speed ...... think 1st gear on a car).  The lower, the harder.
