Why are people still using the shimano 105?

The 105 is a literal boat anchor. For a little bit more you could have the dura ace which weighs less.

So people who use the 105, why?

105 is the the stopping point for close Dura-Ace/Ultegra trickle-down.

I'll bite. I walked into the store, wanted a entry level bike that wasnt too shitty. Ended up with a 105 bike that performs on par with Dura ace equipped bikes.

aside from weight and lifespan is there much difference between shimano group sets ?
eg shift quality and ease of adjustment

Currently, no. Not so long ago, they used to hamstring anything under 105, but now it's a high level of quality from Claris on up, with no major design or performance differences beyond number of cogs that the rear shifter can handle. 11sp is a bit more difficult to adjust than 8sp because tolerances are tighter, but that's not a big deal.

>shift quality
There's a slight different in shift quality from Sora to 105.
Not enough to really matter (imo)
Higher end brakes are better though, no discussion.

Altus is Tourney tier, mostly for BSO shit.

ICR sucks tho. Side exit shift cables make least friction on the shift cable. My 11 speed ICR bike shifts worse then 10 speed side route.

You must have the longest rear derailleur cable in the world if the tightest bend in your shift cable is at your handlebars.

What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

Nothing wrong with 105, and they regularly waterfall upgrades down to it like they always do.

Meanwhile if you want best bang-for-the-buck, get Ultegra. The main difference between Ultegra and Dura-Ace is weight, and that's just a handful of grams, nothing to worry about. When you have to replace some component it'll cost much less than Dura-Ace.

If you want to build a good bike, you get 105 cranks, derailleurs, shifters and brakes. The cassette, chain and cables are where the investment in Ultegra/Dura-Ace makes most sense.

No, Dura-Ace cassette makes absolutely no sense at all - due to the big cogs made in titanium it's 3x more expensive than Ultegra and the only difference is 50 grams of weight. It might be a lot to someone, but doesn't make sense for a budget build.

Chain should be Dura-Ace or KMC X11SL since there the price difference is only like 20 eurobux.

Dura-Ace brakes are also exceptionally better than any other, but for a budget build I guess it doesn't make sense to spend that much on go-slow parts instead of go-fast parts.

Quoted By:

Because I'm not a Fred that believes it matters. Have both new ultegra and new sora. Both perform amazingly, only noticeable difference is the number of cogs. Weight and shift performance are things you wont care or notice unless your being a Fred. At this point the only selling factor of the tiers are the number of gears you get. Weight and shift performance are only a factor to pro riders (99% of riders are not) and freds.
