    Hi all.
    My 15 year old wants to go racing and has been advised to change his gearing to
    52-36 front
    25-16 rear.
    It's a 10 speed cassette and the bolts are 110 mm apart on front.
    I was told about 40 euro for the cassette and slightly more for the front.
    I won't be fitting them
    It's my first time looking for parts online.
    I am getting no results searching on wiggle for the parts.
    any chance ye could put up a few links to what I should be searching for
    Thanks

    Try your local bike shop. I had the same problem few years ago for my guy but even the shop had difficulty trying to source those sizes and was nothing on either CRC or Wiggle.

    I had a quick google around and can across this site; which seems to specialise in junior racing parts.

    As far as the front rings go, depending on the current crank arms you have, you should just be able to get a set of 52-36 rings, even second hand, and have them fitted to your current arms. However there are a ton of different bolt setups, even if it is a 110BCD crank arm, so it may be best getting the LBS to supply these, id imagine most would keep them in stock.
