Does the number of teeth on a cassette matter?
Each sprocket has a different amount of teeth. A higher amount of teeth makes it easier to pedal than a low number and vice versa.

What does the number of teeth on an 11-32 cassette mean?
The number of chainrings, and the number of teeth on each chainring, will also affect the gear range and smoothness. But that’s probably a different question… Numbers denote number of teeth on smallest cog i.e. 11-32 has smallest cog with 11 teeth, and largest with 32 teeth.
How is the size of a cassette determined?
A cassette size, however, depends on the number of teeth. They are referred to as 11-23, 11-32, and so on. The first number is the total number of teeth on the smallest sprocket while the second is the total number of teeth on the biggest one. Combined with the number of gears, the teeth ratio determines the type of terrain a cassette is ideal for.
How many teeth does a road bike cassette have?

Where are the 32 permanent teeth on the teeth chart?
