Let's talk about the elephant in the room: wide range cassettes are dangerous at high speeds.
Some say it's because long cage derailleurs don't have the leverage to maintain chain tension. Some say the inertia of the larger sprockets can't stop rotating when the pedals stop turning. Some even blame the user, saying you should never stop pedaling, or that pedaling backwards a quarter turn while freewheeling is not something that "the pros" do.
Regardless, what everyone can agree on is that when cassettes went beyond 11-28, that is when the problems began.
What can we do to educate consumers against the 11-32/11-34 menace? Screenshot this post while you still can, because THEY don't want you to talk about this. Just don't save it to iCloud, I don't think I need to explain why...
