ISO 14-32 11 speed cassette or as close thereto as possible

[Patrick Moore]

All the 11 speed cassettes I’ve found with 32 big cogs start with 11 t small cogs, which is stupid. I’d like to find an 11 as close as possible to a 14-32 but I find nothing with 14 t small cogs.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Small print: the Ultegra 11-32 11 speed has 11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-24-27-32 cogs. I have no use for the 11 and 12, the 13 is entirely disposable, and I’d 1-t jumps between the 14 and the 20, perhaps even between 14 and 21 — see below. I realize that neither may be possible ready made, but what are the closest options?

Thanks.

Let me restate that: I know that nothing on the market is even close, but what options are there for cassettes that one might one use as a starting point?

Well isn't it your luck day Patrick ! I've been web shopping at one of my go-to online Europe retailers, Trade/Bike Inn, and they have Miche cassettes, 11so, in many varieties. As you know, Miche is the only sensible mfr of cassettes.

How about a 14-32 ? They list a 16-32 also though.

14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-25-28-32

Tradeinn ships from Spain. No trade war with them, no tariff. Duty, maybe, who knows, it's all a crap shoot these dayze.

https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/miche-light-primato-shimano-cassette/136837067/p?  (Seems they only have one left in stock, shipping $18 USD)

( Bike24 has some of the combos listed per cog, for information only, they don't ship to USA anymore. https://www.bike24.com/p2115809.html )

As you can see, with Miche you can have just about anything. https://www.miche.it/en/products/cassettes-sprockets/road/light-primato-11-sh

Thank you, Garth. How did you find this? I suppose my web search skills are too primitive as I get pages of drek.

Anyway, I ordered the single remaining 14-32 — not ideal but pretty close (the 72 to 65 gap is the very same one that bothers me on my ASC hub), and I ordered a 14-30 for good measure. No tariff, or charge labeled as such, but $19 shipping and a customs fee of $21 and change for a total of $165 for the two of them. The prices for 11-32 Ultegra cassettes that I saw online make this not a bad deal at all for 14-30-something cassettes, assuming Miche cogs are decent; I’ve had no problems with them.

I found I had an “account” with Bike Inn; must have been for the 2 pairs of cycling trousers I bought 5-6 years ago.

Bicycle Clinic in the UK used to sell all sorts of generations and series of Miche cassette cogs — I stocked up on 10 speed cogs during COVID — and of course there’s Ali Express, but I read that cogs from the latter may be made from inferior metal.

Andrew: Is this what you meant? https://www.miche.it/en/products/cassettes-sprockets/road/light-primato-11-sh

I came across that but couldn’t interpret it; too bad. I’d have paid 25 additional Euros for the exact custom build. Oh well, with 11 speeds the differences are much diminished compared to, say, 7 or 8.

A bit later: searching for actual vendors brings up nothing; the Miche store locator just cycles, Mel Pinto doesn’t seem to actually carry them …

Vaporware?

Can you get there with a Miche Primato custom cassette Patrick? Are their individual cogs total vaporware?

AH

Who gets enough use from 47*11 to make it worthwhile
