I´m building a winter bike/ hometrainer bike out of an old frame and other parts however I need to put a new grouppo on it.
It needs to be working without fuss when I use it. First I was thinking a 105 group. I´ve used it before, it´s solid and well functioning. I have Dura Ace and Record on other bikes right now. Anyway since this is a bike that primarily will be used fixed to a Tacx and not much else (except riding in sleet on salted roads when good conscience prevents me from riding a high end bike) Anyway I was thinking I might get away with putting a Tiagra Group on it. The thing is I´ve never used it and am not sure it´s up to par.
How is the shifting of Tiagra compared to 105? Anyone here ridden both groups lately? Does it need more frequent adjusting? It´s seem to have almost the same specs as 105 when one reads about it on Shimanos homepage. Except for the crankset not being hollowtech. Anyone? Thx!
