Looked like they were due in stock in various places this week, but everywhere is now showing the second week of June. One assumes they are stuck in an impounded container ship! Anyone spotted a Shimano 11-34 11-speed Utlegra (or 105) cassette anywhere? I’ve checked all the big players and my LBS. It is the missing piece on my gravel build (I am running old RS685 Ultegra shifters).

.

doing the same search myself and no luck so far……..

First place I’ve found with stock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shimano-CS-HG700-11-speed-cassette-11-34T/dp/B07DLLQ472

Been using one myself since last summer on the road bike, I can live with the 11-13-15 jumps at the top end to have 17-19-21-23-25-27-30-34 as climbing options.

Any good?

@boriselbrus – you star! Never looked at Tri sites. Ordered 🙂 (Price premium swallowed!)

@peteimpreza – they are still showing as available to order

Thanks

I’d always look on Ebay. Its not all 2nd hand tat. Well, hardly any of it is these days.
Bet this fella would accept less than £90 – https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174756186971

Debz that’s the wrong one

Yeah, there are 11-32 available from the likes of wiggle. I have one of those, but want to drop to something a bit lower on my gravel for bikepacking etc, and I need a new chain on the new frame, so looking to swap the cassette at the same time. Hoping that the TriUK order comes through.

Looks like that TriUK cassette has shipped. However for anyone still looking, I have since found a 105 11-34 cassette and chain bundle at EVO for sensible money (I’ve used EVO before – they are v good).

Thanks again Tasha, that’s a bit more palatable especially as I needed a chain !!

The Evo stock system is wrong, no stock so order has been cancelled and I’m getting a refund

Oh damn – that’s annoying! They have been really good with stock updates previously.

What’s the difference between an R8000 and a HG800?

According to Merlin, nothing:

“Note – 11/34 is HG800 (same quality as CS-R8000)”

Of all places –

Nice spot DezB. I have a feeling that is in effect same one as TriUK as when I Googled it last night, as Evans bought TriUK. Therefore for my sins I have done the thing I always swore to I never do and lined Mike Ashley’s pockets, for two extra teeth!

No worries Tasha, they phoned straight away and did an immediate refund

What’s the difference between an R8000 and a HG800?

R8000 fits an 11 speed road freehub body. HG800 is 11 speed but because the largest sprocket is dished it will fit an 8/9/10 speed freehub body.

I think I have one of those, lightly used* in the spares box along with a chain if anyone is interested?

*I genuinely don’t know the exact mileage as it was fitted to a bike I bought off here, but the tyres still had the hairs on them! I swapped it to 1x straight away.

I couldn’t find one anywhere either and didn’t want to drop down to 105 so I plumped for SRAM1070 11 to 36, sram chain but Ultegra groupo.

Should be easier on the legs and knees over long dales rides and tapping out over Park Rash.

@ashat I have brand new one in its box that I’m not going use p.m me.

@Stainypants oh thanks – that’s kind. My TriUK one arrived today, and I think @peteimpreza is still looking for a reasonable priced one, so I’ll let them drop you a line.

@Stainypants just sent you a DM re the cassette

These guys have 3 available at the moment https://neweracycle.com/shimano-105-hg700-11-speed-road-cassette/

Random links for a 5 month old thread on a UK forum! Singapore, Aus, USA…

But as it happens I was looking for this as well and found that Deporvillage apparently have some in stock.

Anyone know if their ‘in stock’ status is reliable?

I may just try switching my 52-36 chainring combination to a 52-34 instead though.  Much lower cost for the extra climbing ratio albeit at slight risk of poorer front derailleur shifting.

I managed to buy 2 from Amazon, which arrived this morning and remembered this thread.
I tried putting in my basket on the sites that said “in stock” and continued adding until they came up as not able to fulfil.
I just thought I’d try to be helpful, and post my results.

Nevis Cycles had a stack of them yesterday.

I think Roots Cycles my local has a few.

Sorry mate, re-read my own post and it doesn’t come across well. thanks for the info.

No worries mate.

Skinflint is a good site for tracking stuff.

Looks like Merlin have them in stock for 100 quid!

I’ve got a slightly used one spare if anyone wants it for under than half that.
