A story..Interbike, first year of shimano 11s. 2013(I think)..Went by shimano booth..to give them a hard time and say hello to Wayne Stetina(who has since gone to the Dark Side at sram)..He was the face and voice of shimano USA, had the keys to the front door. He wanted us to ride and shift the brand new DA9000 11s bike, in a trainer..'See how effortless it was?'..'We wanted to keep the ease and softness of mechanical shifting relevant in the Di2 era'.

BUT, the wheel set was an unbranded Campagnolo wheel set with a Campagnolo cogset. The bike was his...He got closer and whispered, 'don't tell anybody, but Campagnolo 11s cogset works perfectly with the new shimano 11s mechanical drivetrain'.....

Of course we told anybody that would listen...
Thank's Oldpotatoe for the great story about Shimano 11s, Wayne Stetina and for spreading the news.
