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)?

The problem is the capacity of the DA RD. Off course you can make it work mixing groupset parts but that is not my point. If you only want it to work buy 105 but then you get also a heavy groupset with an ugly finish.
