I wonder if SUPER quiet, smooth gear shifting is achievable at all, regardless of what brand/model of your grouppo? Like the You Tube videos I saw - by just adjusting the derailleur /cable tension? (The quiet ones I saw on the videos are always Ultegra or above, actually)
Currently I don't really have major problems with my shifting, other than sometimes (not always) I may feel the chain jump "a tiny bit" on rear when it shift down from 17 teeth cog to 15 cog while riding.... (or mainly from largest cogs to middle I should say). Up shifting is very quiet already... I spent lots of time fiddle around with the derailleur /cables, but never able to get "perfect" (both ways). I'm really curious to learn if one can tune the bike to completely smooth / quiet shifting at all if following is the gear combo:
Front / Back derailleur: Shimano 105
Shifters: 105 STI
Cassette : Tiagra CS4600 (12-30)
Compact chainring 50/34
If I upgrade to Ultegra cassette, would the (noise/smoothness) situation be improved?
Any comments /advise are appreciated!
