Oh, they don't make 12-28 in anything below DA? Strange that Shimano does that, what's the point of that?
We were just shopping for a new cassette for my GF's bike, and I wanted to find her an 11-30 Ultegra, which they don't make in 6800, only 8000. I guess that makes sense, they could have just decided to go with a new combination for the new Ultegra series, but seems strange they wouldn't make 12-28 in anything other than DA...
