I have Dura-Ace 9000 11 speed groups with an 11-28 rear cassette, and I wanted to change the rear cassette to an 11-32 (getting old!)

I think the biggest available ratio for this groupset is 11-30?

I was led to believe that the Ultra CS6800 is compatible with the my current groupset and is/was available in 11-32? I check all of the usual suspects, but can’t find any availability.

Any suggestions on cost effectively resolving this issue would be welcome.

Ultegra cassette is

Ultegra cassette is compatible. Make sure you add a link or two to your chain. The only problem could be the short cage of the rear derailleur. The new 9100 series has a longer cage as standard, listed to accept up to 30 teeth but you will easily be able to get it to work with a 32.

Have a search for what the 9000 could actually handle, I suspect 32 might be pushing it, but here is a video for the 9100 series…
