Can I mix tiagra and 105?

However, you should be able to put a 105 rear derailleur in a Tiagra system as the cable pull ratios are the same, but to go to 11-speed you're eventually going to need the big bang of new sprockets, chain and shifters.

Can I use Tiagra cassette with 105?

However, you should be able to put a 105 rear derailleur in a Tiagra system as the cable pull ratios are the same, but to go to 11-speed you're eventually going to need the big bang of new sprockets, chain and shifters.

Can you upgrade Shimano Tiagra to 105?

Re: Tiagra Cassette compatible with 105 5600? Perfectly fine, just note the 5600 derailleur won't fit larger than a 28T sprocket.

Is tiagra 4700 compatible with 105?

Sora is 9 speed, Tiagra is 10 speed. 105 is 11 speed. 11 speed has a different hub boss size so you can't just put an 11 speed on a 10 or 9 speed one. However, if it is a 10 speed its likely you can replace the boss with an 11 speed one, but without that you also need a new rear wheel if you upgrade.

Can you mix Tiagra and Ultegra?

TLDR: no that won't work. Tiagra 4700 was introduced in 2015 (see here), so your 2013 Allez will have 10 speed Tiagra 4600 series which is not compatible with any 11 speed derailleur. Shifters pull a certain length of cable per gear, derailleurs have an actuation ratio.

What's better 105 or Tiagra?

Re: Mixing Shimano Tiagra and Ultegra

cassettes are the same spacing, so all generations are compatible. The difference between 4700 and other 10-sp. is the cable pull to cover the gaps, so shifter/derailleur pairing is where it can go wrong.


Can I use a 105 front derailleur with Tiagra?

The choice between Shimano 105 and Ultegra depends on the bike, the rider's level, the type of cycling, any upgrades already made... So, it's not always worth upgrading to Ultegra, even though it's undoubtedly a significantly more performance-oriented transmission group.

Can you mix Shimano groupsets?

If you study the compatibility chart you'll see there tends to be a lot of compatibility between drivetrains that match in number of speeds, but not between speeds. For instance 2x10 Ultegra 6700, 105 5700 and Tiagra 4700/4600 are all compatible with each other but not 2x9 or 2x8 group components.

Why Shimano 105 is so expensive?

Likewise, Shimano and SRAM buyers have the freedom to mix different levels of chains and cassettes so long as they are designed for the same kind of transmission. Thus, an Ultegra (6800/8000) 11-speed chain can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed cassette.

Why is Shimano 105 so good?

Most of the cost is R&D, tooling, and branding. Shimano wants you in their higher end stuff to promote their brand. Once Shimano has machining set up the cost for them to produce one versus the other is the same. And they may have some innovation that the new is actually cheaper to produce.

Is deore better than Tiagra?

The durability and ease of operation (and in the main, fitment) of a Shimano 105 groupset justifies its vaunted position as the perfect compromise between weight and performance.

Is 105 compatible with Ultegra?

IMO Deore/Tiagra are about the same in quality/level(within the Shimano ranges) though are designed for differing uses really. If you wanted to upgrade the hubs XT would be a good choice. For touring bikes Deore is the business, even though it's designed for mountain bikes.

Can Tiagra be 11 speed?

Yep, you can!

Is Tiagra faster than Ultegra?

You can use either 10 or 11 speed chain on Tiagra 4700 cassette. Technically, both 10 and 11 speed chain has 11/128" internal width (the width measured between inner link plate).

Is Shimano Tiagra entry level?

Ultegra is a higher-end 11-speed groupset and is designed for more performance-oriented riders. It has improved shifting performance and uses lighter materials than Tiagra. It is also more expensive than Tiagra. Both groupsets provide reliable performance, but the Ultegra will offer a smoother and more efficient ride.
