11-32 cassette only new Ultegra??
Just seen the Shimano announcements and the specific mention of a new 11-32 cassette was really interesting as I have many hours in the mountains this summer...
Will the 11-32 cassette also work with the new Dura Ace rear derailleur? Or is it Ultegra only?
Thanks all, FJ

Ultegra 6800 is will have a medium length cage RD available for the 32-tooth cassette, so unless DA makes the same, you're S.O.L.

It depends on the rear hanger. Shimano says 28t for 9000 so that it will work. Exceptions are there, but I wouldn't spend that much money on the experiment.
Shimano and Campagnolo missed the boat on this. Sram has large capacity rear mechs at the Red level.

I have the 11-32 cassette and GS mid cage RD, they work great, the cassette looks big, it is too much for the SS short cage RD to handle.
I was researching this for ages too.
I'm building a new bike on a well priced Dogma 2 frame.
I wanted a Dura Ace 9000 but also an easier gear since I live in a area with mountains and some shocking sharp punchy climbs.
So my bike shop are putting a 11-32 ultegra cassette on the Dura Ace, and they say it will work.
I'm a total tech newbie, so I hope they are correct.

Running stock DA-7900 with 12-30 just fine. If you get a bit creative with the chain length, B screw, and possible 10t top pulley, 11-32 should be doable on most (all?) frames (RD hangers), I would reckon. For chain tension it might be advisable to trim to big-big cogs without the extra 2 links, at the price of giving up the front-big / rear-big cross-chained gear (which one shouldn't use anyway).
BTW, long cage Ultegra 6700 handles 11-34 out of the box (on another frame of mine). So there's room to go to an even wider range with that RD (probably not too much demand, though).
