Electronic & Hydraulic Shifting (Di2, Ui2, customisations)

Dont know about Shimano, but I have an sram 11-36 that will fit in an 11 speed sram/Shimano road hub.

It's only been used for 200k could pass it on for very reasonable price (few beers).

There is an 11-34 11 speed Mtb cassette that will work with 10spd hubs, and the new medium cage ultegra rear mech can work with it too.

Ultegra mech, shift buttons, battery pack, cateye remote.

How much
?

I'm dreaming.

There's the hen's teeth CS-HG800-11, 11-34, sold out everywhere.

Chain reaction had them a couple of weeks ago, I got one.

Yeah, I'll take it off you. That's my first option to test out.

I think Shimano do a 36T and 40T MTB cassettes too but I have 11spd DT Swiss hub and I don't think they fit for some reason - too skinny or too wide?

What is stopping me building a new wheel with Shimano MTB hub for 11spd road use? Is there some spacing or disc rotor issue?

Oh, wow, never knew about that. I could get one of those and mate it with the similarly rare 14-32 cassette for range and decent gaps.

I found it in Shimano's Compatibility pages before they'd added it to any of the spec listings. Bit spendy though.

Reckon it will work with a short cage Di2 RD?

Similar price to the SRAM one, no?

Actually, no, the SRAM one is less than £50.

so would XT Di2 rear mech work with Sram 1130 11-36?

I have a wheel for sale that is 10speed Mtb hub.

So 10spd MTB works with 11spd road cassettes? What's the issue with 11spd MTB hubs?

None, it's just a way to breathe life into old Mtb hubs

Are the Shimano hubs still pretty much silent?

I don't know. I'd imagine they sound like a fishing reel!

What sort of fishing reel? I mean, baitcast or spinning?

Double chainrings are only supported with GS (medium cage) rear derailleurs. (?)

Shimano say that you can't run a 32T in a short cage derailler but I do it just fine. I wonder if anyone has actually used it knows whether it might work or not.

Really?

Yes. That's why I asked about the 34T with standard derailler cage.

The less funky shit hanging off the bike, the better.

Just get compact?

I am using 36t comfortably with med cage, wanna buy my rear mech? I do you good deal.
