The proposed build sounds great, by the way! I have Rival (10) on my road bike and I really like it, but I am likely going to be using Shimano bits for my next build. The current 105 stuff does look excellent but not sure if I really want/need 11sp.
I don't feel like I'm particularly benefitting from the extra cog, the type of riding I'm doing, but it shifts really well . Much prefer it to the SRAM apex on my previous crossomuter.
I've always preferred Shimano, just find it so precise and feel (for me) it just works .
Cool, if you're sure?
