  • The initial price difference of tiagra and 105 is very tight, IMHO unless the wheels can't handle 11 speed don't see why would choose tiagra.

    This may differ on other countries though.

    Nah you were right - price difference between Tiagra 4700 and 105 5800 was under five quid.

    Quite a few of the 105 parts were cheaper than Tiagra, including the brifters by £22. I think only the chainset, cassette and rear mech were more expensive.

  • The main difference is because 4700 is a newer groupset whether 5800 have been around for a while and the price drop is due to this.

  • Wow that's even less than I found the last time, it was around 10-15 pound.

    Buying a good chain wear tool would be great way to minimise the time to change the chains.
    It was at around 4000 km according to Park tool, but I tried using shimano cn41 to find out it still good and it indicate to change at when at last reaching around 7000 km

  • who says brifters.
