SRAM Apex RD with Shimano 6600 shifter
hi hi,
Any clue if this will work ?
I am tempted by the Apex 11-32 Cassette. but don't wanna change everything.

*2 on not working, and to give you the details why:
Shimano 10 speed shifters pull about 2.3mm per click whereas Sram pulls about 3mm and their respective derailleurs have different pull ratios. Shimano moves about 1.7:1 and Sram 1.3/1.

an Ultegra long cage (RD 6600 GS) meant for a triple set-up may also work.

Shimano 9sp MTB long cage RD and sram or shimano 10sp mtb cassette is the best choice, IMO.

I considered going to an Apex 11-32 cassette and using a 6500 GS RD I have laying around, and found that the long cage helps with the wide crankset spread, but not with the cassette spread - Shimano says it won't handle >27 tooth cogs. Didn't check on the 6600 GS. I ended up deciding to work on leg strength instead.
