shimano 105 for sram

[jack smith]

Ive got some shimano 105 5700 levers brakes and mechs to swap for sram equivilants, just dont get on with shimanos feel

 

[jack smith]

No one? Shifters and mechs even?

I think you'd be better off flogging the 105 and then sourcing the SRAM. SRAM seems pretty niche in the UK, from my anecdotal searching only around 10% of UK roadbikes have SRAM (if that judging from Sigma today)!

This looks to be the best price for Rival 22 groupset

Might be worth doing then i can pick up sram mech pretty cheap not sure about the shifters, cant afford new so wouod have to be able to cover buying sram with the sale of the shimano stuff, i just dont like shimano shifters at all

 

[vickster]

Me neither, they shift fine but I can't brake, completely wrong shape. Dura Ace might be ok, better slimmer shape

 

[jack smith]

I can't shift down I an easier gear and changing to the big ring is horrid the levers are too far away stiff and you need to push them too far the sram design is much better

I'm tempted but I only have apex that's about 3 years old so not 105 level.

 

[jack smith]

What condition? I'm fine with apex to be honest depending in what nick it is in
