Even the Tiagra line is very good these days. Aside from the 11th cog on the 105's, I'd say that they're pretty even in terms of performance. Especially in regards to shifting.
- ubermonkey 8y agoReally? I'd definitely disagree. I find the 105 materially nicer in feel, plus obviously having the 11 is nice, too. The maxim in the cycling community where I live is that 105 is fine, but Ultegra is worth it if you can afford it, and Dura Ace is just showing off. I think that's pretty accurate. (Of course, it probably needs updating for Di2/eTap...)
