Loved watching you only the long cage derailluer then everything perfect

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Good video. I have completed the same. My only suggestion to you and what I did on a 10 speed 105 to increase to 11-34 cassette is to replace short cage rear derailleur with a medium/long cage derailleur, so gears will shift correctly.

Fyi, if your running “old” 10 speed I.e 105, ultegra- not “new” tiagra, then the shifters are compatible with 9 speed deore mtb rear mechs - opening up the possibility of some truly dinner plate size cassettes making touring up 25-30% gradients more bearable.

It's been a year, and there are still no updates. I hope you didn't fall off your bike with the wrong long chain.

Love this type of content! Keep it up Greetings from Chicago!

You should try using a Wolf Tooth Goatlink first because it's the cheapest thing to try. If that doesn't work you will need to change the cage on your derailleur to a longer cage or buy a new long cage derailleur.

Thanks for the video! Helped a lot

I climbed the Mont Ventoux in France on an 11-30 last year. It was hard! This year, I used an 11-34 and my climb was 15 minutes faster!!

Please provide an update. I would like to do similar mod.

Hey where’d you guys go? No new videos?

[@sunflowers6612]

hello was there a metal washer that came with lockring ? i had one on a sram pg 1030 and im pretty shure shimano cassette has a metal washer ?

[@BigKeith510]

I wonder if I can do this to my used road bike. I am new to this but live in a hilly area

[@mavallarino]

What’s the chainrings you are running? That’s also a big jump in range… you’d probably a new rear derailleur

[@mbastos1000]

Please, pay your electricity bill so that you can have more light in the next video... we can't see a thing and I confess that I have not developed night vision yet without special googles yet!

[@kennethcolbert2921]

To do it right you will need a long cage rear derailleur and a new chain.To set it up right go to your big chainring and the small cassette and get the rear derailleur to be at 6 o'clock don't worry about keeping you chain tight it will be fine if you do as I have told you to do I have built a lot of bicycles for my self and other people and have had no problem at all you are asking for trouble with the setup you have right now.I hope you get it going soon.

[@snorttroll4379]

so what do I buy to make this happen? is it enought to have an extension thing and a big casette? or do I need a new derailleur? and chain?

[@or7631]

watch a video on how to use and switching your gears

[@yusufning8402]

I have a 12 a speed ultegra 11-30, if i change to 11-34 do I need to modify or change any set up of my rd / fd? Thanks

[@amila325]

I think you should be good(I think official max range is 11-34 too). You just need a new chain along with the cassette.
