Good cog distribution for a 10 speed cassette

I've got a 12-23 Ultegra cassette, but not sure if this is the good distribution. I've noticed that a smaller cog would help me to get good top speed on flat, and specially downhills. What do you recommend?

Makus, thanks for your first guest post. Please consider registering here.

Regarding to your question, well like everything in life it depends on much factors. I write my example:

When I purchased my bike, it came with a compact crankset 50-34 and a cassette of 12-23. It was good but not great for triathlons. I needed a smaller cog of 11, so I replaced it by 11-23. Now I've got the perfect cogs distribution for training uphills with 34-25 and racing with 50 – x.

PS. I'm thinking on replacing it by 11-28 because I'll be doing a lot of hill training.

It depends ;) makus

I've replaced today my 11-23 cassette with the following sprocket distribution:

11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23

by an 11-25 with:

11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25

I hope these will be enough for my upcoming hilly training Confused
