12-28 Casette for Shiano Ultegra 6800

Miche do a 12-28 11 speed Shimano cassette. Will be more cost effective. I used them for a few years without any problems. Maybe not 100% as smooth shifting but only tiny margins.

Even with Shimano some of the sprockets come in different timings (phases) depending on the cassette, so you may be unfortunate enough to have a wee glitch even then. That said, might be fine and the Shimano docs have all of this detail in them if you want to check (e.g. which sprocket has which timing and what the serial number is for each).

Yeah, most sprocket part numbers differ between those cassettes, I've got both in 5800 flavour but I still need to take pics of one of the sets of sprockets so I can directly compare. At worst I'd expect the franken-cassette to be a bit hesitant changing between certain sprockets.
