Eagle eye viewers probably spotted that I've chosen the Ultegra cassette instead of a DA. Two reason why I did this:
I've been reading on the interweb that the DA cassette has been having a lot of issues with riders and how they crack after 5000k on the bike, this was down to the four bolt mounting system they had at the back of the cassette to hole everything in place. And whey they crack, the only sign you'll notice it is when the rear wheel starting to creak.
Second reason was that I couldn't justify myself buying a cassette that will probably save me 30g for 4 times the price of a very good and more importantly reliable cassette. (ironic I know with the di2 statement above)
But I must give a very big REP for Merlin Cycles, as there delivery system is amazing, I order the whole kit on Monday afternoon, and it arrived the next day! Never had that kind of service before. Big rep again, and would highly recommend.
