Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

just think of it as a free upgrade as most likely they ran out of the Ultegra and sent you the DA cassette.

This is just what PBK do.

I oredered a set of tires. They didn't have the colour I wanted so they sent me 3 of another colour and a bunch of tubes - along with a note apologizing for not having the colour I wanted.

Another time I ordered two cassettes , they sent the wrong ones ( sizes) , I sent them back and they sent me 3 of the right size.

Happened to me when I ordered bottle cages.

Of course I didn't WANT carbon bottle cages...

I got gear cables instead of brake cables the other day :/

The e-mail reply was less than satisfactory so I keep them.
