In the latest DA version they offer a 34/30
gear combination so it is getting better.
But why not offer a 34/32 like Ultegra?
You have the money to spend and willing to do
so and you are 'forced' to buy Ultegra.
What kind of marketing is that?

Can you throw in a Ultegra casette and/or
crankset to get the desired span? Because just
now you said even with a 105 you didn't really
feel the difference (when clean)?
