shimano components
Can someone help me w/ shimano components.
I want to know what the order of the best quality components to the worst are. (i.e. sti/ultegra/105/tiagra/sora...not sure what the best and the worst components are) looking to buy me a cycle and just want to know what i'm looking at when reading the specs.
Thanks for your help everyone

Seriously, dough.boy, to answer your question, post #2 from Sora to DuraAce is lesser to best. IMHO.

-DA
-Ultegra
-105
-Tiagra
-Sora
-Then some with numbers I do believe. I did not think there was anything less than Sora but I believe there is.
With this said I ride Ultegra and have never regretted it.

. There's a lot of other Shimano components that don't fall into the group sepcifications we have outlined, but most of us would prefer not to ride them if given the choice.

But, I love my Ultegra.
What's the classification system for SRAM?
