    I've run MTB cassettes on road bikes with no problem.

    it's a good old roadie cheat that one.

    i was mocked viciously by friends of mine when i voiced the opinion that i'd quite like a triple chainset on my road bike – for those times when i'm miles from home, my legs are spent, and there's a couple of big hills between me and my sofa.

    it turns out the hateful B8stards have been using 28tooth mtb blocks for years…

    The HG80 comes in 11-28, as do some SRAM ones. No problems sticking one of these on a road bike as the spacing is identical. Plenty of DHers out there with 12-25 road cassettes as well obviously. Only thing that matters is the capacity of your mech(s).

    Just make sure your rear mech can handle the range on your new cassette.
