Hello!

I'm looking to build up a Colnago C60 with Super Record EPS and because I'll be using it to climb Mt. Washington (11 miles at about 12% AVG gradient) and other steep races, I want to run an 11 X 32 cassette with a 50 X 34 front crankset. I know you can run an 11 X 32 with an ultegra di2 rear mech, but does anyone know if you can run that with an EPS rear mech without affecting the shifting quality?

Thank you!

If so, that's frustrating! I'm a fairly fit racer, but there are climbs where it's hard to maintain a good cadence even in a 34 X 29!

It depends on the length of the mech hanger. I have used an 11-29 with a 52/34 on EPS but it doesn't shift as cleanly as it does when the 52/36 & 11-27 are used. I have also tried an Ultregra 11-32 and that works as well as the 11-29.

I run a 12/29 on EPS with a 50/34 no problems at all. Haven't gone bigger though as I ride a different bike for Mt. Washington with SRAM long cage rear mech.
