Evo + 11 speed on Gen 1 Lightweights(New Enve bars 20/8/14)
Moderator: robbosmans
So I just updated my Evo Hi-Mod today with Dura Ace 11 speed mechanical gears. As I have two pairs of Shimano compatible Gen 1 Lightweights that can't be upgraded too 11 speed free hubs due to the fact they use Dura Ace 7700 titanium cassette bodies and hub internals a workaround was needed and after reading of a similar workaround elsewhere on the forum I followed the same route. I picked up an 11-28 Ultegra 11 speed cassette and had a buddy of mine machine 1.8mm of material off the back of the alloy carrier of the fixed last three sprockets which I believe you can't do to the Dura Ace cassette as its carbon and listening to the fuss over the Dura Ace cassette exploding is probably a far better option anyway! There's plenty of clearance between the back of the cluster and the hub body and also plenty of clearance at the spokes although I think you'd struggle with higher ratio cassettes. As an aside I believe this could work on many wheels, I tried it on a set of carbon Bontrager wheels I have and the cassette fitted on there too. I took loads of pics for those that are interested, click the photo bucket link below the following two pics

(there's a spider on your finger).
I think this is the first cassette mod I've seen for 11 speed. All the mods I saw, including the one I am using was made on the freehub body...
How much does the hi-mod frame weigh?
added: I see the "Hi-Mod" is just what used to be the standard Evo.

Bars look heavy but nice. Anyone know of any good windtunnel data for rider + bike with aero bars?
Yeah bars a bit heavier than the Zipp SL's that came off, but the bike is light enough not to be unduly affected by the extra pork

Yes Kevin its on my to do list lol. I had it lying around as all my recent bikes have used 31.6, I've got a Zipp SL and latest generation EC90 in 31.6, gutted they don't fit the Evo I'd like something like a Zipp SL, Enve or Ritchey Superlogic, scanning Ebay as we speak I'd also like to stick a Spidering on there.

That is totally awesome. Any way your buddy would be willing to machine out a couple more cassettes? I tried a couple of local machine shops and none was able to do the job.
