Does it have to be hydraulic?Etap + spyres?
-
I'd definitely go hydro, even Spyres are a poor imitation. I've been running hydros with cables, mainly because I race cyclocross on that bike and the cost of a Di2 replacement rear derailleur is too much to consider it a disposable item, and the brakes are absolutely faultless.

685 shifters and ultegra or 105 mechs and stuff

Ultegra Di2 + hydro and if you've got flat mount then you want RS805 not R785 I think.
Didn't seem much point to DA for my new bike. Needless expense.

So disc groupsets...
Talk to me.
I am looking for a disc groupset for my new 'nice' bike. Essentially it's going to be my only road bike, and probably my only major bike purchase for a long time.
That said money is a definite consideration at the moment so I don't want to needlessly spunk money. Especially as I'll need new wheels too.
First decision is cable or di2. If I go di2 then I guess theres only one answer; 6870 Ultegra + R785 shifters, right?
9070 seems to be £1,500 + R785 shifters + RD mod to long cage sounds like £££s for not much gain.
Then it's cable vs hyrdo. I'm pretty much sold on hydro if I'm going to disc. In which case its R685 shifters plus whatever group I want from DA to Tiagra(?). If I go cable then it's 105, right?
Is that a pretty good summation, or is there any thing I'm missing?
Any hints and tips appreciated. Cheers.
