Sorry OP but just a slight hijack.

As usual I'm mucking about with something, have printed a 'TanPan' type gadget to use a 10sp clutch RD with 10sp Road STI's on my other gravel bike. The RD I intend using for my testing has no pulley wheels. It normally uses 11t ones

So as always JUST BECAUSE I CAN I'm thinking to print some 12t ones and try them in the standard cage .... any thoughts guys?

I could even print 13t ones I suppose but I wonder about the clearance in that standard cage ....

Lest ya'll forget marginal gains worked for Team Sky so don't come at with me that those .049 watts don't matter đŸ˜œ

Stem slamming, narrow bars, tilted hoods, aero socks, skinsuits, internal routing, picking a more aero helmet, core training to sustain aero position longer just on the aero side of things. You can also maintain your drivetrain properly, using wax, research which chain’s faster…

when I see okes running a sram red chain on a 48 chainring using ospw I laugh, their 10T cog is smaller than their pulley wheels and their chain a few watt slower than some other brands đŸ«£

What's even more concerning is the fact that Shimano SA has no 11sp parts for road bikes. 

Spend a fortune on Di2 and Shimano can't even back you up. 

 

 

Tbh honest they don’t have much of anything, and worst part is you can’t even import from europe. I buy stuff in France when I travel now that you can’t get anything shipped here anymore

That's not new.
Coolheat has not been a good importer/distributer of Shimano goods for ages.
But it seems that they would like to improve that - see the online survey they did recently.
I imagine that they got some long overdue and honest feedback.
