I don't know what type of riding are you doing, but to me, unless you are doing lots of climbing, a 28 cog out back is a waste especially with a 36 little ring up front. I longer race, but still ride and train with a bunch of guys that do just to keep my legs and reflexes sharp. Muscles don't work like they used to at 50. I still ride a 23 or 25 depending on the amount of hill I am going over. I much rather have the mid range selection on the roads I ride then have that one large cog jsut for that day when you decide to go climbing. I need 16, 17, and 18 tooth cog out back. I ride 53x39 rings but will switch to a 27 on those long 15 miles climbs, other then that, 23 or 25 cog is all I need even for those climbs. Yes, I do come in dead last sometimes due to the lack or riding.
Doesn't shimano have a remote gear selector that mounts to the top of handle bars?
