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.
