  • Most pro teams have a set of separate ultegra di2 long cage rds for when the riders want larger than a 28 so the demand is definitely there. Maybe not so much of a need for your average crit racer mind you.

    It's not uncommon, even the pro have a big range in the Giro

    Sky have a standard 11-28 because it work for all scenario, no need to constantly swap cassette round for certain stages.

    11-30 sound like it'll keep a similar jump between each cassette while having a decent lower gear for some of the climb.

  • Those same pros were using MTB rear deraillers to give them low enough gears to race up Zoncolan and similar in the Giro.

    Disc brakes I'm still not sure about. I currently hate them but that's for other reasons.
