In any case, it's shifting much better now, after taking into account all the thoughts people have posted here. All I want now is for the brifters to match, and since the right is 105 and working flawlessly . . .
Although come to think of it, everything else on the bike is Ultegra, so maybe vanity dictates I get two new Ultegra sti's . . .
got nothing else to spend my money on, hmm. . . ?
i had an Ultegra comfort oriented road bike, a few years back. The things had so much flex it it that it had to be adjusted precise on the front deraileur or it would have a tough time doing its job properly. I upgraded the front D to Dura Ace & it helped a lot. But still couldnt find the "perfect" adjustment.
