I'm bored. Let's play the 2200, Sora, Tiagra, 105, Ultegra, Dura Ace game!
 

OK here's how it goes.... you can only have one model per part for your bike build. How would your combo be?

I'll start first.

2200: Front Derailleur
Sora: Rear derailleur
Tiagra: Hubs
105: Brakes
Ultegra: Shifters
Dura Ace: Crankset (need it light!)

Sorry Campy and SRAM play elsewhere... :p

What's typically the most expensive part? Shifter or cranks? I would line up parts from most expensive to least, and the have Dura Ace on the most expensive item, and move down the line.

I'm bored. But not that bored.

****

Sram.

what the what what?

I can't play too? :(

No. You can't **** because you have the l.

Hmmmmm....

2200: Brakes
Sora: FD
Tiagra: Crank
105: Hubs
Ultegra: RD
Dura Ace: Shifters

I kinda wonder if this combo would work, though (namely the shifters, FD, and crank)...

Sora: Brakes
Tiagra: FD
105: RD
Dura-Ace: brifters
Ultegra: crank
2200: hubs

I kinda like this better than what I posted.

2200: front derailleur
Sora: brakes
Tiagra: crankset
105: hubs
Ultegra: rear derailleur
Dura Ace: shifters

The largest performance difference I've seen between lines seem to be the shifters and rear derailleur. The rest is mostly a weight penalty.


All the combos should work because you just have to match the cassette to the shifters and the rest should be doable.

2200 series for brakes. Wow... feeling brave aren't ya? ;)

You can play this game in the Mountain Bike section. :D

Oh.










Nevermind.

Never said that I'd use the 2200 pads... ;)

*edit* Hang on -- they don't even HAVE brakes in the 2200 series? Crap... :lol:

2200: Brakes
Sora: FD
Tiagra: Crank
Ultegra: Hubs
105: RD
Dura ace: Shifters

Sora explodes when it comes in contact with Dura-Ace.

:lol:

[QUOTE=wunderkind;11581699]OK here's how it goes.... you can only have one model per part for your bike build. How would your combo be?

I'll start first.

2200: hubs laced to edge 45 tubulars :)
Sora: brakeset.
Tiagra: FD
105: RD
Ultegra: crank
Dura Ace: shifters

...on a Pinarello Dogma frame with Deda Newton and Servizio Corse finishing kit, Selle Italia SLR kit Carbonio saddle, and Tufo tires.

Sure, we'll play on the road instead of LaLa land.

I sort of played this game today for real: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...eeded.../page2

You know, for some people it's not a game, it's reality:

My bike:
Sora - Front D.
Tiagra - Shifters
105 - Rear D.
Ultegra - Pedals

My build (the Shimano parts, anyway):
BB: Tiagra
FD & RD: Ultegra
Brakes: 105
Crank: R700 (what was called an "Ultegra-level" compact before they made one with the Ultegra label)
Shifters: Dura Ace

this is like insider trading.

This.
