Campy cassete - adding cogs
As some new routes have consisted of 20% grade hills I am finding a 34-27 low gear is not sufficient for my 62 year old legs. If the hills were any longer, or the grade picked up any more, I am not sure I would have made it. Otherwise, the 27 tooth cog has worked out fine. So, rather than get a new rear mech, full cassette and a 12-32, I thought I would just get the 23-29 part for my existing one. It is only about 6 mos old, as is the chain, so it should work. I don't cross chain to the outer two cogs so the existing chain length should be okay. Am I missing anything? I know the final 3 cogs will now have a 3 tooth jump instead of 2.
Going from 12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23-25-27 to 12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23-26-29 Tim Campagnolo 11 Speed 23,26,29 Cogs for 12-29 Cassette |

I wouldn't want take a chance of having to remember not to cross-chain with a too-short chain.
Reconsider getting a 12-32 and a new chain. No need for a new derailleur (I run a 12-32 with a record short arm) |

If you don't mind an 11t first cog, Merlin has Centaur 11 speed 11-29 cassette for $68:
