Drivetrain question!
I’m tweaking my cross bike to be a bit better for distance riding and gravé. I’d like to fit a larger cassette.
I’m running an old Ultegra 6600 shifter and derailleur 1x10. The rear hub is Dura Ace 7800 and current cassette is something Shimano 12-30t.
Am I right in thinking 11sp mtb mechs would work with any non-DA 10sp road shifters?
A mtb mech should have some small advantages over a roadlink/hanger extender?
Mtb mechs would have to be 9 speed and less without a Jtek/wolf tooth pulley thingie. I think you’re supposed to get crisper shiftering if you don’t use the hanger extender, but I’ve done it both ways and been pretty happy with both.
I see.
Models of 9sp mtb mechs still clear a 36t cassette ok?
