11s 12-34T Miche CALP1BS123410 uses same 12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30-34 cogs as Shimano 12s 11-34T
Blame ppl who think that 50x12 is a 'weak' top gear... even though most of 'em wouldn't be able to turn it at 90 RPM on the flats without a paceline or a tailwind.
Incidentally, Eddy Merckx set his world hour record using a 52x14, a lower gear than that.
edit- Apparently there's an 11-spd 12-32 cassette in Campy Centaur. That seems to be pretty much the last gasp for 12-30+ cassettes among the major manufacturers.
