I picked up a set of 105 hydraulic brakes for my road bike. Plan to upgrade to hydraulics before spring. Now I need to pickup a set of 11 speed hydraulic Brifters. I was thinking of staying 105 and going with a pair of Shimano 7020s. I know they came out with the 105 Shimano 7025 - but I think they are for people with smaller hands.

I did read that the hydraulic reservoir on the 7020s was to thin and would start to leak - that post indicated that the Ultegra 8020s had a thicker hydraulic reservoir and was worth the substantial increase in price. I have run 105 for years and been happy. But that one post made me a bit leery about spending $400 on the 105s. I did a number of searches and saw no further mention of issues with the hydraulic reservoir on the 7020s. I fact most were fairly positive about them.


So perhaps I found a post about the 105 Bifters, I I was wondering if any of you had any issues with the Shimano 105 (7020) Brifters. Or if the 7020s are a good value for the money?


Thank you
