Rohloff?



On the spot :-)

Aha. There are some of us here, but we keep a low profile so as not to oppress the underclass with our technical sophistication. I'll send you the secret handshake by two-part letter; memorize and burn both parts.

For a friend of mine, will a Dura Ace 9000 shifter shift a 11speed cassette
correctly with a Ultegra 6800 rear derailleur?



Both are 11-speed, so why not?

What I know is that all 11 speed cassettes are interchangeable between DA and
Ultegra. This doesn't mean that a Da shifter pulls the same cable length per
click as a Ultegra shifter. Because DA in the past was often different from
the rest I was wondering.

True - although I ride Ultegra myself, I do not appreciate at all the
(historic?) non0interchangeability of Shimano especially DA.

There must be some sales argument behind it...



"I don't have friends with 11-speeds"

You will be lonely after a couple of years from now or you only have old
friends ;-)

Lou, still 10 speed
It my age I will be having more and more older friends...;-)

I wonder what the prof peloton (TdF) / UCI will come up with, or are
they already spoiled?

The tiny, little, spot that isn't rotating?
