Well I've tried and tried but I can't make head nor tail of that. Right over my head!Another forumite on here gave me a link to this Shimano compatability sheet. The info you're looking for may be in here somewhere.

Wow!
I like that, I think. I'd love to print off a huge copy and put it on the garage wall above my workbench. It would look like I had a clue what I am doing.
Howcome the mech that has to accomodate more gears at the back (and I assume bigge left to right travel). Would have the narrower cage?I am no expert but would say that a 105 FD would be narrower than a 9 speed Sora. 105 came with both 10 speed and 11 speed, depending on age / version. I have both Sora 9 speed and 105 11 speed and the FD certainly looks narrower compared with the Sora. So whilst it may be possible to fit the 105 you may find it harder to trim to stop chain rub. IMO.
Skinny chain innit?Howcome the mech that has to accomodate more gears at the back (and I assume bigge left to right travel). Would have the narrower cage?
almost certain I've got one brand new unused is it band on or braze on your after?Am I going mad. I need to replace my front mech. It's a 9 speed Sora. Checked prices. Then checked 105 to see if it was worth upgrading. 105 is cheaper. Across the board.
...am I missing something?
