Subject: RE: upgrading Sora to 105...? If you aren't having any problems, don't bother to upgrade. Your money is better spent elsewhere. My road bike is running 8-speed Sora, and while it is finicky, it doesn't stop me from holding my own on group rides and the like. For reference, my tri-bike runs Durace Di2, which is so silky smooth it's crazy - I feel like shifting only requires a mere thought, let alone a button press. Every time I see a deal on a 10-speed Ultegra groupo, I think about dropping the money to upgrade my roadie, and then I stop myself and think why? It works, and I can just put that money towards another bike or other gear (or, you know, lame expenses like groceries or gas . . .). |
