I Like Bikes
I have a Cannondale Synapse Alloy 105 which has almost exclusively Shimano 105 groupset (changed the standard FSA Gossamer cranks to 105) with the exception of my chain (KMC X10), rear cassette (Tiagra 4600 12-28) and the brake calipers (Tektro R539).
Am looking at the Ultegra 11-28 cassette as its a relatively cheap upgrade (£44) or perhaps ultegra brake calipers (same price).
Just wondering a few things -
* I'm presuming the cassette is a better upgrade than the brake calipers, if I had to chose between them?
* Am I right in thinking the 11 vs 12 tooth will give me a little more downhill drive, without losing anything going uphills?
* Do I need to check anything with my bike regarding compatibility? The chainrings are 50-34 Shimano 105 5700's.
* Am I going to notice anything particularly improved with the upgrade? Is it worth it?
