Combining two 11-speed Shimano cassettes
I have an 11-32 11-speed 105 5800 cassette on a gravel bike and would rather have a 12-13-14-15-16-18-20-22-25-28-32 than the 11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32 that I have now. It looks like all I need to do is buy a 12-25 5800 and combine cogs.
The red cogs would come from the 12-25 and the black cogs would come from the 11-32:
12-13-14-15-16-18-20-22-25-28-32. Is it really that easy?
I've reviewed the Shimano Dealer pdf, see:
