Shimano 11s

[Sunny Portrush]

Hi,

I'm looking to hire a bike when I'm in France in June. One shop has the derailleurs as Shimano 11 but I don't quite know what that means. Is it like 105, Ultegra or something else?

I have contacted the shop but am still awaiting a reply

I could add a link to their website but am not sure if that is allowed!

I would think thats 11 speed.

Could be 105, Ultegra or DA. All are good. If it's hilly and you're not a pro, look for a compact chainset and 11-30 cassette.

Well, I'm doing Alpe D'Huez so I think that qualifies as 'hilly' lol

They had all types of shimano gearing when i was in alp de huez in 2017....and E road bikes too. Plenty of rental shops to choose from

Turns out the bike has Shimano 105 which is fine by me - I had a bile with Ultegra on it when I was cycling in Majorca last year and couldnt tell the difference between that and the tiagra on my road bike!

@jowwy , I`m staying in Bourg d`Oisans and have looked at the bike hire shops there. Unfortunately the best deal seems to be in a shop in Alpe D`Huez meaning I`d have to ride the bike back up again on the last day lol

Or take it up in the car....i stayed in bourg d'osians too...just behind the cafe de paris in town. Behind the fresh bakery in a 3 story town house. We was there in july and it was smoking hot
