yeah, different mech tho, the new dura ace doesn't like going much above a 25. it's not just the cage capacity but the how far the parallelogram will stretch.

O rly? even though DA cassettes come up to 28 and the shitmano site says the Rear Der. is good to 28 it doesn't particularly like it? :eh:

No I'm not taking the piss, I am being serious here.

Doesn't shimano claim that its able to use with a 28?! I stand by my comment.

I've worked on any number of team bikes with DA and 27's since 7900 was introduced, and they''ve all shifted fine.

If you can't get it over a 25, you've serviced it wrong, or set it up wrong.

yeah, shit loads of b screw. :crazy:

The mechanics job is to make it work. If it takes b-screw, and then works sweet, it was probably designed to work just like that.

not a fan of lots of b screw, i find i messes with the shift in the higher end. that being said, i'm sure when you have a new cassette and chain regularly, shifting is usually pretty tight

So it sounds like it's possible then. At least I won't look like such an arse when I ask for a big range of gears.
Glad to have created some discussion.

Ain't no point in having gears that work exactly 100% perect if you can't ride the bike up the bloody hill tho

So I needs a new chain and these just came on sale

but not sure if I should replace the cassette at the same time. It's only 9 months old (new on a Scale 35) so I assume it's still in pretty good nick. How do I tell ? and which of these would be the better chain. All the componentry on my horse is shimano so I assume the cassette is.

Cheers
