    Howdo,

    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these, in particular with the 11-speed versions ? I’ve read in the past about some experiences with their Campagnolo versions – seem to be coming across as generally OK, bit more clunky and some of them prone to wear – so i’m not expecting the Shimano ones to be any more silky smooth shifting but interested in any info.

    Cheers

    Alas i’m after a 11-speed Beefy, I had a 12-30 10-speed Shimano on the old bike which was spot on. SRAM do do an 11-speed 11-30, which would be grand too but it’s silly expensive. If I find one on eBay for a bargain i’d go for it in a shot.

    What size are your chainrings? If you want close ratios but lower overall gearing, that’s what I’d be looking to change. Either from a double to a compact or, if you already have a compact, something smaller (Spa Cycles sell a compact with a 33t inner ring)… or even a triple (sorry!)

    Not had good experience with their 10speed Campag ones. Have you looked at a SRAM cassettee at all? May be abit more pricey however.

    I have used the Campag compatible Miche cassettes (steel) and I broke the teeth off. They were crap. I am not a monster rider.

    OK, sounds similar to some comments i’ve heard.. that said, given the 8-speed, was that a while ago ? Reason for asking is that Miche have abuse for shifting quality and longevity (on the aluminium cogs AFAICS) in the past but may be getting better on that, judging my what reviews i’ve seen.

    As far as Shimano goes, I have their cassettes already but their ratios aren’t what I want – you have 28 or or 28-32 as an option with an 11, which is fine for most thing but they seem to have dropped the 12-30 they’ve had with a bunch of their 10 speed cassettes.

    For these old legs I like something in between for long, not-so-mild, climbs and I couldn’t give a rats arse about an 11 on the descents because i’m either doing way over 40mph on a 12 spinning out or happy with the speed. The jumps on the Shimano 11-32 are just what you don’t want in your hour of need on a climb and often way too wide to do the normal jump in and out of the saddle. Do I need stronger legs ? Of course, but family life, age and injury don’t always help with sorting that đŸ™‚
