Having just received my new sram red 22 shifters, front & rear mech I was wondering will the controls work with my 6800 ultegra calipers ok until I can afford red calipers. Is anyone running the same or something similar.

I have eTap with 6800 calipers, was going to upgrade them later but at £200 I think I’ll leave it…the Shimano work fine

Thanks haze yeah 165 for pair is extremely expensive maybe go for force.

I’m using the opposite system with no problems, i.e. red calipers with 6800 shifters. So if it’s cable pull ratio you’re concerned about, that doesn’t seem to be an issue.

ill swap my 6800 calipers for your red lol

I have exactly the same set up on my bike and it’s fine

Cheers

They’re both cable 🙂

They are talking about cable operated road caliper brakes not disc brakes . Excused 😀

Edit – actually, I’ll give it some thought!

No worries bud
