Shimano 105 is and always has been the best option for novice racers. I'm a DA user because I'm older and have money now (I'm a former Cat. 2 who used to race on Campy Chorus), but, if I'm being honest with myself, unless you're a pro and/or you're good enough to get bikes for free, 105 is all you need. To new racers I say: Cycling is bad for peer pressure, but don't fall for it; 105 is great, and you want to be the kind of rider that is more "go" than "show" anyhow. When you're fast enough you'll be able to get Ultegra or DA at a shop or team discount, if not for free. Train smart, stay safe and good luck!

@groovymoon9386 5 лет назад

Yes... If you are on a budget... 105 works perfectly well an spend your upgrade money on WHEELS and TIRES

@miasiu 5 лет назад

Had a Campa for a very long time but they went mad in terms of prices for all components. Therefore I have moved to Shimano. Swapped to Shimano 105/Ultegra and I am more than happy. Far much better than Campa (especial shifting in Shimano is sooo good). Have enough thumb shifting and it doesn't destroy my wallet.

How much worse is Tiagra? If 2 models are different only in Tiagra and 105, the latter being $300 more, would you go for it if limited in budget?

I upgraded to 105 r7000 from Sora a month ago. I love it! I don't race, I just like to ride with friends and enjoy a week long fundraiser once a year so I wanted a workhorse with good performance that wouldn't break my bank. This was it in spades. I went with the widest range possible so I can swap out wheels and get on the gravel and I've had a blast. Good on you Shimano

@12thgear 5 лет назад

New 105 is great. I'm especially impressed with the R7000 rim brake calipers, which feel much stiffer and more precise even over previous gen.

@BikeItUK 5 лет назад

Always been and always will be a great value for money performing groupset. Looks great and I am sure it works as well as the other groupset's in the range. Just a little heavier than the more expensive ones. Thanks for another well put together professional informative video.

@vedhed21 5 лет назад

Pretty much what Bikeit said!

@BikeItUK 5 лет назад

Эдуард Аксенов Before Sora etc, I always used to see it like 105 entry level, then Ultegra the middle ground the work horse, then the Dura Ace kept for racing. Because yes you are right as far as I am aware the metal becomes lighter but softer. The silver 105 option could work very well with a retro 11 speed bike build we do. Watch this space 👍🚲😉

@lesmerritt7976 5 лет назад

I've built two bikes with the R7000 version. The new FD adjustment is great. Does away with the barrel adjuster which as Simon says eventually may cease and is an entry point for corrosion. I think performance is as good as Ultegra or so close it doesn't matter. Looking forward to the 105 vs Dura Ace video. I still prefer Campagnolo, especially the shifter operation, brake lever and hoods shape.

@minuteman4199 5 лет назад

I've had two different bikes with two different generations of 105 groupset. I recently got a nice cross bike for a good price but it came with a Sora groupset, which I figured I would upgrade to 105 when I started to wear out components. I'm still going to do that, but I have actually been pleasantly surprised at how good the Sora works compared to my previous experience with 105. That being said I am just a commuter not a racer.

@Dispariabooks 5 лет назад

I just bought my dream race bike this year, but I still find myself dreaming about owning a new 105 training bike. Inexpensive, reliable, attractive...something I'd never worry about and enjoy daily. Thanks for making my Christmas list for me.

@scottishjohn 5 лет назад

Glad to see that Shimano have now integrated Disc Brakes into 105 level now. I think that if you were to get yourself a bike with 105 or upgrade to 105 then it would definitely do everything that you would want it to do and you know that it is gonna be super reliable with the same quality that you come to expect from Shimano, plus the benefit of being interchangeable with other components. A very cool little video there Si, I am guessing that this was put onto your trusty Orbea which we have seen you do Cyclocross and gravel on? Just frame starting to show some wear but the groupset does look very pro and I think from afar you would be hard pushed to always know that it was 105 and not one of its bigger bothers! I await to see the follow up video. Cheer GCN for another cool little video!

@YouNeedToHearThis 3 года назад

I just updated my 2004 Trek 5200 from its stock Ultegra groupset to this latest 105. What a massive upgrade! The hardest part was fitting an 11-speed cassette on the 9-speed rear wheel - I learned that the stock Bontrager wheels are built around unbranded DT Swiss hubs and all I needed was a new 11-speed freehub body. I now have an 18 pound bike with modern gearing, upgraded shift quality, and much stiffer crankset.

@PersonaN007Grata 4 года назад

I’ve had 10-speed FC-5700 105 for years and liked it just fine. Then I built up the bike with Ultegra R8000 11-spd and it is light years better. Crisp and silky smooth shifts. Amazing. Recently acquired another frameset and was going to reuse the old 10 spd 105 but decided to sell it off and buy the R7000 11-spd 105 groupset. I’m hoping it’s just as crisp and smooth as my Ultegra.

@peglor 5 лет назад

The 105 11-34 cassette is probably what will end up on my next MTB with a triple chainset. I like my gears closely spaced but still want a range from road descending to grinding up the steepest climbs, and this combination ticks all the boxes better than a more limited range and bigger gear jumps on a single chainring pushed by MTB manufacturers. The crazy thing these days is that the range on road cassettes now is wider than MTB cassettes from 10 years ago. 20ish years back 11-28 was as good as you'd get on a MTB. I suspect a modern gravel bike is better off road than many XC MTBs from back then though.

@jozuavanlangenhove6586 2 года назад

I switched from campagnolo athena to shimano 105 back in the day 2007, and yes it rides smoother also shifting is much more effortless. The 105 is a great groupset.

@dlp1750 5 лет назад

Chain rings. I have 105 on my gravel bike. Definitely impressive performance (although I don't have anything modern to compare it to). I am not to sure about the inside of the chain rings. You commented they are machined out, presumably for weight reduction. The downside of that machining is they are a massive pain to keep clean. Makes one tempted to haul out the pressure washer....

I have been using Tiagra 4700 for a while and now I got this new 105. To be honest, both feel great and 10 or 11 speeds don't make a big difference for me, What I have really come to love is the new rear mech and brake calipers of the 105. I feel much less chain slap when going over rough terrain and the brakes feel more responsive than the Tektro ones I have on my other bike.

I'm still riding my RC 6000 Raleigh 105 groupset alu bike with carbon fork,from 2008.i do have a newer bike bought in 2017 a Silverback. Then again I ride to improve my fitness and enjoyment, not for fashion or to ride the lightest bike, my raleigh rc6000 weighs in at 8.5kg it's light enough me thinks.

@vincentflanagan198 5 лет назад

Excellent review and a very nice offering from out of Sakai. As a professional bike fitter, I am glad Shimano finally have something suitable for the many who have small hands and struggle to reach the levers. Even the current Ultgera and DA series I need to adjust to the max for closeness and it is not enough. I will be recommending the 7025 shifters to many of my clients. And while here it is time for the parts manufacturers to build and bike companies to put 165 cranks on their S and XS sized frames

@robsnel4111 2 года назад

It's quite difficult to lay your hands on a pair of 7025 shifters to sort out whether it's smaller dimensions are beneficial to someone. And unfortunately most bikes (even those marketed towards ladies) are fitted with the regular 7020. Do you have any useful recommendations wrt hand dimensions and when to switch between 7020/7025?
