A riding buddy has a short cage Ultegra RD, shifting with STI. Front is Ultegra road triple, 30-39-53. For a couple of years now, he's been using an 11-32 9 speed from Harris. The old 27 big cog was insufficient. He obviously cannot use every cog on every ring, but is quite please with the shifting performance. This is on a +20 year old lugged steel racing bike.
When he initially mentioned he was going to the new cassette, I assurred him he would need a different RD. You never know what works until you try it. Suprised me. dougP On Jul 8, 1:18 pm, mather...@gmail.com wrote: > I've pushed my short cage DuraAce to 32 teeth without issues.
