I'm looking for some repair/upgrade advice from a knowledgable mechanic. I have a road bike with shimano 105 drivetrain in need of a new front derallieur and cable. Can I upgrade my front deralleiur to an ultegra as long as the specs are equivalent to the 105?

Welcome Mike. I started to suggest posting your question in the Mechanics forum but I see you already did.
