Shifters?

freddie_ · 2011-10-27 17:31:47

Hey, I currently have an ultegra sl group set and am wondering is it possible to change the shifters to a cable less option.

You mean electronic shifting? I'm pretty sure you'd have to change the mechs as well.

There's no such thing as cableless shifters. Even electronic shifters (at least since Mavic got out of the business) have cables.

Sorry, by cable less I meant the system where the cables can't be seen.

The current version of the ultegra shifters 6700 route the cables under the bar tape, the same way as the brake cables. They would replace your existing levers. No other changes needed.I dont have it, so cant comment on how well it works or not? A new pair of ultegra levers is going to cost about 250 euro, so not cheap to hide those cables.

Shimano 105 5700 also have internal cable routing. Seweryn is selling most of a 105 5700 groupset here. He may entertain offers of a split.
