    Try it on http://www.wheelworks.co.nz/drivetrain.php?ST=T1&FD=S4&RD=T1&CN=S4&CS=S4&CR=C3 which is useful for working out all these things.

    I use a SRAM11-28 which seems to shift better than a Shimano one - even with a Shimano chain.

    Isn't there some kind of compatibility issue with DA7900 chains (asymmetric), so does that translate backwards to the cassettes?

    I gather the new Ultegra will have a 12-28 and be backward compatible to 6600, so if you can wait 'til October, that might be your answer.

    Cheers,
    Chris
