Superfly1 Posted October 4, 2011 Share HiI want to fit a 11-27 casette on a road bike that currently runs with full SRAM Red. Seems like shimano offers this ratio. Is anybody using this ratio and any issues I need to know about to run such a set-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big JD Posted October 4, 2011 Share Shouldn't have any issues tar MAC. The ratio is a little wider at the easier end of the cassette but you are normally on a steep climb at this point so will not cause you any problems. I run 11-28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly1 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Thanks Big JD. Are you running SRAM or Shimano casette? I was also wondering should I go Ultegra or DuraAce. Do you get so much more benefit for the difference on price? Shouldn't have any issues tar MAC. The ratio is a little wider at the easier end of the cassette but you are normally on a steep climb at this point so will not cause you any problems. I run 11-28.

Big JD Posted October 4, 2011 Share I'm running Dura Ace 7900. Can't really comment on Ultegra as I haven't ridden any of the newer stuff, but in my experience Dura Ace 7900 is quieter, smoother and shifts way better than SRAM Red. I woudl suspect the only diffence between Ultegra and Dura Ace would be a weight differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bram_on_Madone Posted October 5, 2011 Share I ride Ultegra with 11-27 and it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly1 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Phoned a LBS or two yesterday and seems like 11-27 was made by shimano but can't get stock in SA anymore and SRAM doesn't do 11-27. What's the 2nd best choice then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted October 5, 2011 Share Try this shop: www.cwcycles.co.za Shimano Ultegra Ultegra 11-28 Or if you insist on having a 27 there is the 105 12-27 Shimano 105 Edited October 5, 2011 by Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
