shimaNo 11-speed

After the campy project came to an end I focused myself on the 11-speed upgrade for shimaNo. I do have some pro bikes (Rolf Aldag giant prototype 2005 and an Giant 2008 Team Columbia) and a couple of bike buddies with shimNo equipment. 

Due to the fact that (my) 11-speed campy (2005-2008) is based on the shimaNo shifting increment of 3.95mm  and that I have compatible rear wheels I started to investigate the shimaNo STI 78XX shifter. To my surprise I found out, that a 3 minute machining operation adds to the innermost position (biggest sprocket) an 11th gear. 

After marking the 11-speed is ready for the first ride.
