I could be wrong, but I don't think anything over 8 speed is compatible with 7410 dura ace hubs and I think I'd probably need a longer cage mech to get any larger a cassette than I've already got (think I'm running 28 as largest option on rear already).
I do need to gear down quite a bit... I like hills but I'd rather not spend quite as much time out the saddle.
I'm pretty adaptable when it comes to bikes so happy to get used to a new system - having said that, I think SRAM might be too much of a leap.
I don't know, I'm still in two minds about it all, but I am quite into the idea of having something a bit more modern. I'm also thinking that keeping the dura ace group + wheels together will make it easier to resell them so that's another factor in just going for something totally new.
