I have the Shimano Ultegra 6800 groupset on my carbon, with the short cage rear mech. My current set-up is...
Front = 50 & 34
Rear = 11 to 28
So my used capacity is 33T.
According to the manufacturers blurb pasted below, total capacity is 33T, so I'm at the max.
It's new cassette time, and I'm playing with the idea of getting a 11 to 30, so I'll be exceeding the manufacturers max stated capacity and the max sprocket size by +2T.
Is pushing the boundaries a tiny wee bit do-able? Has anybody had any experience of doing this? Will the world come to an end?
My gut feel is that it will probably be ok, but would appreciate thoughts on here before parting with the readies.
Thanks
