Thanks Phil I'm glad to hear first hand experience. I don't typically ride in a manner where I'm trying to keep a constant cadence...I feel like I can make adjustments when approaching a climb. Your feedback is very helpful nonetheless. I does make me curious what others may think is the ideal spacing between cogs when climbing and shifting down while attempting to maintain a somewhat constant cadence.
Also, if I go to a 10 speed Sunrace (or other) I'd at least have to get a new chain and potentially derailleur ..so getting a few more teeth in the back might not be worth it to me. Love the idea of gaining a 40 low end and keeping everything else the same.
