Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

105 Compatibility

I'm going to switch from a FSA triple crankset to an Ultegra double. I'm going to go with the Ultegra FD, but I'm hoping to retain the 105 lever set...which are not labeled "triple", unlike the current FD.

The current lever set is '09 105, currently running a triple FD. The big question is will they run a Ultegra double FD?

Thanks

Yes. I run an Ultegra SL double FD on my '08 105 shifters with a double crankset that I swapped from a triple.

It's also stated on the shimano website that 105 shifters are compatible with both double and triple setups.

Thanks, one of the shops I work with had said no...

Parts have been ordered, Santa has one more stop to make this year!
