ulterga 11 speed cassette with the 10 speed 105 shifters
Hello,
I bought the Ulterga 6800 11 speed (11-32T) cassette and Ulterga GS rear derailleur and I'm wondering if they will work with my existing Shimano 105 shifters or do I have to get new shifter too? Thanks

New shifter time. Match shifters to cassettes.

Anyway, the 11 speed cassette is too wide to fit on the older 8/9/10 speed hubs. Isn't bike industry planned obsolescence great? So check your hubs to make sure the cassette will fit.
My recommendation: keep the "Ulterga" rear derailleur, and return the 11-speed cassette. Then buy a Shimano XT (or whatever) 11-32 10-speed cassette. Finding a 12-32 cassette is even better, as it will allow you to dispense with the useless 11-tooth small cog.

Only on BF would it seem to make sense to buy new shifters to correct the mistake of buying the wrong cassette.

Ulterga? Must by a knock-off of Shimano Ultegra. I assume they are cross-compatible.

This guys.. https://velonews.competitor.com/2013/...1-speed_301392 talks about it at the bottom of the page. I think I'll just send back both the cassette and the rear derailleur and stick with the
105 10-speed system, spending another 500+ on new wheel set doesn't sound appealing at the moment.

+1 11s is pointless if it includes an 11t.
I'd say it's pointless for anyone who doesn't live somewhere really hilly and dislikes triples. Ten well-chosen cogs and two carefully-selected rings should be both close and wide enough for 95% of folks.
Oh hey - can someone clarify something for me?
Please tell me 11s RDs aren't backwards-compatible. If they use the same ratio as a 6s RD I might have to quit my job rather than deal with such stupidity when it becomes widespread...
