Can you buy a pair of mechanical hydro shifters (105, Ultegra, etc) without having to buy the calipers with them?
Same question for Di2 shifters. I can only find £400+ box sets of shifters and calipers (https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-ultegra-r8070-di2-hydraulic-disc-sti-levers-r8070-flat-mount-disc-calipers-11-speed-130479.html £550!). So to fit this shit to the Sequoia would be pretty spendy given battery is another 160 quid, FD and RD are probably £500 or some shit.
Was Di2 always this expensive? I'm sure I didn't pay these prices for my stuff.
R8070 pricing has been quite steady even with brexit etc. GRX mad pricey, 105 Di2 same, 12 speed ultegra also same.
I don't remember what I paid for my GRX shifters but I don't remember going "how fucking much?!" when I bought them.
