Hey gang.
Contemplating going a little upmarket from my microshift R8 setup that came with the bike either this summer, or for christmas.
It ticks all the boxes (shiny, better, shimano), but is not that common to find as a groupset(especially with 175mm cranks), is the phobia of triples over compact chanisets that big a thing?
And finally, would changing the brakes up to the 105 (5800) caliper brakes be a good investment, seeing as I'm a less-than-confident descender, reviews say the difference is noticeable, can anyone back them up?
