Are all Ultegra cassettes compatible?

Thus, an Ultegra (6800/8000) 11-speed chain can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed cassette. Similarly, there is no need to match the level of the chain and cassette to the rest of the groupset, so a 105 (5800) 11-speed cassette can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed groupset.

Is an Ultegra cassette better than 105?

There is a difference in the materials used. Ultegra dual control levers have carbon-fibre reinforced plastic brackets and main levers while 105 has glass-fibre reinforced plastic brackets and aluminium main levers. The 105 levers are a little heavier but you won’t notice any difference in performance.

What is a 12/25 cassette?

Each sprocket has a different amount of teeth. A higher amount of teeth makes it easier to pedal than a low number and vice versa. Most road bikes come supplied with a 12–25T cassette, where the smallest sprocket has 12 teeth and the largest sprocked has 25 teeth.

Do I need a new derailleur if I get a bigger cassette?

You’ll have bigger jumps between the gears, but you’ll have a bigger range of gears. With a wider range cassette, you may need a new rear derailleur with a longer cage.

What is the difference between R8000 and R8020?

New R8000 in a nutshell Ultegra R8000 (as reviewed) and R8020 each feature mechanical shifting: the former is paired with cable-activated rim brakes while the latter is designed for hydraulic disc brakes.

How do I know what cassette fits my bike?

Is Ultegra worth the money over 105?

Conclusion. There is no longer any real technological difference between 105 and Ultegra, and the only real difference is that Ultegra is a lighter groupset.

Does a lighter cassette make a difference?

not really. because the weight is near the axle is not as pronounced as in a wheel rim. However lighter is lighter and these days a good place to shave grams and the expense of dollars. I will say XX1 cassettes are a work of art.

What size cassette can my derailleur handle?

All derailleurs have a maximum cassette size. This is often indicated as the maximum number of teeth that can be on the biggest cog (often referred to as low sprocket max in manuals). So when you see that a derailleur has a maximum cassette size of 30T you know that the biggest cog on the cassette cannot exceed 30T.
