I'm in the process of buying my first road bike and could use a little help. What are the different levels of Shimano parts... ie Sora, Tiagra, 105, etc. Hopefully this will help make a decision a little easier. Thanks all.
no they dontHow about Campy? Have you checked their offerings too? I must say they make the sexiest cranksets.
I agree. 105 is costs about half as much as Dura Ace, but gives almost as much performance (according to many of those who have tried both), some say it gives 95% D/A performance!
Tell me, you Shimano gurus, how do you measure the 'performance' of a groupset? What's your point of reference when you say that a 105 gruppo has 95% of D/A performance?
Goat is right, it's to do with weight and reliability.
I went with the 105 gruppo. Couldn't cost justify Ultegra or
Dura Ace. I am 195lbs, how much difference is a few onces going to make anyway, I lose more than that in persperation when I cycle. Talking to some of the riders in my neck of the woods, they couldn't see the difference either, except in "brag-rights". It would be great to be a proficent enough cyclist to NEED dura-ace.
ok to be honest iv never riden campy so i cant commentA message from the Dark Side (i.e. Campy Corner)
