Is 105 a good group set?
The new 105 groupset is better than the outgoing 105-5800 system: the shifting is improved and it gets nearly all the innovations from the more expensive groupsets. But it remains the case that 105-5800 is a really excellent groupset too and the release of 105-7000 will mean there are bargains to be had out there.

Can I mix Ultegra with 105?
There’s no reason why you can’t use an Ultegra cassette with an otherwise 105 groupset, or vice versa. With both 105 and Ultegra, the largest sprocket you can officially use is a 34-tooth, although in truth you can go much larger than that; we have gear systems with 11-40 cassettes that work very happily.
Is 105 better than Tiagra?
Tiagra offers excellent value for money but 105 is certainly the better groupset and we’d recommend going for it if your funds allow because of the better brakes, the small weight saving and the upgrade to 11-speed.
How much does it cost to upgrade a Groupet?
Local shops around me charge $200 to $300 for a total overhaul. A group change should be no more than a total overhaul charge. Probably a couple hundred bucks. The bike shop will want to install new cables/housing and bar tape on top of doing the components.
Is Shimano 105 good for racing?
A good friend of mine raced his first year as a Cat 2 on full 105… I would be very surprised if you could measure any difference in speed between 105 and the more expensive groups. Definitely good enough. No problems at all with 105 on my Super 6.
Can I use Dura Ace cassette with 105?
Similarly, there is no need to match the level of the chain and cassette to the rest of the groupset, so a 105 (5800) 11-speed cassette can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed groupset.
What’s the difference between a 105 and an Ultegra?
