Sram wifli cassette compatible with Dura Ace?

jolly rancher

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me whether SRAM's 32T wifli cassette is compatible with a Dura Ace groupset and drivetrain?

Cheers.

SRAM and Shim cassettes are interchangeable -but - whether or not the 32t wifli cassette fits or not depends on the rear dérailleur capacity. If the DA RD is long enough cage to work with a 32t it will work. Related to that is if you need a new chain - if the old cassette was not a 32t you need a new (longer chain) if it was a 30t you might get away with it but a new chain isn't too extravagant.

Thanks for your answer. I'm intending to go from a 28T DA cassette to a 32T SRAM Red cassette, hopefully all I will need is a longer chain, am I right in thinking there is no such thing as a DA mid cage derailleur (like the SRAM wi-fli version)?

Think you'll need an Ultegra medium cage

This times 1000. You're asking for trouble running the SS mech.

I tend to agree - the temptation will be to stay in the big ring and run up the block for lower gears - then you get big-big and it all goes horribly wrong! Possibly.
