Wtd - 8 Speed Shimano Cassette

[Tel]

I'm after an 8 Speed Shimano Compatible cassette something like 12-23. I'll have a 9 speed to swap/ sell on as a result. Quite urgent!

I have a new 12-23 HG50 Shimano if your interested.

Perfect but about twice what I wanted to pay. I'll hold out to see if anything else comes up if not I'll have it...Cheers.

12-26 too high?

Not sure, probably be alright actually. I have managed to source one but the biggest sprocket is 21 which is a tad small. Perhaps I'll have yours too if the price is right....?

Ok. Price is right. Can anyone confirm whether a 600 Ultegra rear mech will handle the 26t?

It should do it no problem Tel, My Dura Ace 8 speed cassette came in 12-26 flavour & the DA & Ultegra were the same capacity wise.
So long as you're running a normal double you'll be fine. A triple then likely not..
Total capacity on these as stated from Shimano was 28 I believe, so a 12-26 is 14 plus whatever the difference between your big & small ring. You could probably stetch it 1 or 2 teeth more capacity wise, many appear to have done it previously.
