• 105 10 speed mech but think can only go to a 11-32 cassette as short or medium cage. Currently on a 11-28 which with a 34 small ring up front if fully loaded and hilly touring won't be great

  • Love that you’re getting genuine 1-bike-for-everything use out of it.

    If you’re upgrading you probably won’t want lower than 105 level so that gives you the cables hidden under the bar tape for a more modern look. IME 10 and 11 speed 105 shifts perfectly, it’s remarkable how good it is. It all depends on good maintenance of course. I think 34x32 is probably low enough even for touring in mountains given that you’re a regular rider but if not then you might need to use a mtb cassette and mech which will be fine compatability-wise as long as you stick with the same number of speeds from the same manufacturer.

    Brake compatibility shouldn’t be an issue either.
