I think you're doing great Jim. Glad to see you're seriously thinking about custom cassettes - they're a lot more functional than anything off the shelf. You'll also have the option of buying additional cogs and adjusting it later. On Friday, December 4, 2015 at 5:17:43 PM UTC-6, Jim Brons

Ted, I got pretty excited when I saw your post The 11-32 as you depict with 43/26 rings just about perfect replicates the 46/26 with my preferred spacing with close to 100 on the top end and around 21 on the low end. However, none of the SRAM cassettes I saw online include the 14 cog :( I just

Jim, I think you might get the gears you want more easily by picking rings that get you what you want with readily available cassettes. Eg. sram 11sp 11-28 with 42/24 rings 4224 11 99.3 56.7 12 91.0 52.0 13 84.0 48.0 14 78.0 44.6 15 72.8 41.6 16 68.2 39.0 17 64.2 36.7 19

Nothing specific about gearing, but on the general state of the 11spd price point: the new generation Tiagra (4700) uses the lever shape, crank configuration, and revised cable pull ratios (for easier shift effort) of the 11spd groups but is sticking with 10spds. Shimano tech reps describe it

That's a pretty good idea and I have bought from Xxcycle before, it takes a long time to get here but I was ultimately happy with my purchase. One thing I noticed that may be available stateside is, if you could just split two 105 5800s in half it would be about perfect. The 12-25 runs 12-16 in o

sorry Bill, you're wrong. You want the 16t cog, that's why you're doing this. Where you want 5" steps is right there around that 16t ring. When you get below 50" 8-9" steps are sufficient - besides, you'll have 4" steps below 50 inches on your bailout ring. This means something. I made a

Nice find Joe. That IRD 11-speed 12-32 only misses the 16t (and actually none of their 11sp cassettes have a 16). What Jim gains by losing the 16 is a very smooth 19/21/23/25 progression before the 28/32 jumps. On Thursday, November 19, 2015 at 4:27:40 PM UTC-8, jbartoe wrote: > > Yes! > > >
