  • Friend has Ultegra 6800 setup and wants lower gears. 53/39 x 28T currently.

    Ultegra 6800 cable RD, short cage version, what's the biggest cassette peeps have run?

    Can you buy a longer cage for these or is it easier to just buy a long cage RD?

    Anyone selling or best place to get Compact rings for 6800 cranks?

  • I think 28t is official max on the short cage mech, a 30t might work. Any Shimano 11sp road long cage rear mech will work with the shifters afaik.

    TA or Stronglight do rings. It’ll cost as much as a chainset though. Because there are a bunch from Shimano chainsets to choose from that’s probably easiest. Shimano rings are good.

    ... um ... I actually have one of these (170mm) to flog. I did ~ 600km on it then had a problem with that frame.

  • I wonder if fitting a Wolftooth type hanger extender is better/easier/cheaper than trying to source a GS cage replacement? A whole RD costs £50 but that's still £50. I'm looking for cheapest option.

    Shimano 105 R7000 cassette comes in 30T flavour
