How can I tell what gears my rear cassette encompasses? When I look at the technical specs on Specialized's page for my bike, it says my bike came standard with a 12/25 rear cassette, but my husband is convinced the guy told us it was a 12/27. How can I find out for sure? Do I have to do a rollout?

I think the numbers are stamped on the cassette - just can't tell you where since I didn't ride my bike in today. I just replaced one, and the mechanic just took a look at the old one to verify what it was - he did it while I was standing there, and he certainly didn't count.

Another way.... Count each tooth twice, then divide by 2!
