I need to replace my chainset and the components on the bike are shimano 105 5600 apart from the chainset which is elita..
Now a new 5700 chainset is £30 cheaper than the 5600, but shimano tech doc say the 5600 shifters aren't compatible. Anybody know why.. could do with saving the extra cash.
Thanks
 
When my 5600 rear derailleur failed, it was replaced with a 5700; I think the only difference is its a little lighter, it works fine wit my 5600 sti's anyway.
