Cassette Compatibility advice

[Twowheelxtc]

hi. Does anyone know of an 11spd cassette with 34 or 36 tooth that is Shimano Road compatible please. I currently have a 32 on the back but would like a bit of help on the really steep hills with my Compact chain set!! If the Ultegra rear mech won't cope I intend to use one of the adapters to drop the mech fixing bolt a little.

Any advice or experience on this would be welcomed.

Thanks

Andy

This one will fit https://www.evanscycles.com/sram-powerglide-1170-11-speed-road-cassette-EV203392

As you say capacity in the rear derailleur will likely be an issue and require some work.

I don't know about adaptors to drop the rear mech fixing bolt?
I would have thought a long cage rear mech would be required, you will most probably need a longer chain too.

A wander around the Shimano Tech docs might help.

Thanks guys.......I'll give the sram power glide a go..... and for Spiderweb the gear hanger adapter is made by Wolf Toooth and is called Road Link.... it just drops the rear changer down a little..

That's a clever accessory and is news to me!

I put an 11-36 cassette on my cyclocross bike but I changed the rear mech to get that to work. Changing the hanger seems like a simpler and cheaper option.

I've never seen those before, thanks for the info.
