Upgrading

[FootballingCyclist]

Hi guys

 

I was just wondering, when upgrading from 9 to 10 speed, is it only the chain, shifetrs and cluster that i need to change/upgrade or is it the whole groupset itself that needs to be upgraded including derailleurs etc etc???

 

Your guys help and knowledge will be much appreciated....

rear derailleur needs to also be changed ..... front should be no problem I think!

road or mtb?

 

i used an old shimano 600 (ultegra) rear derailleur with a 10-speed set up at one point without a problem. currently using a 105 9-speed rd for my 10-speed set-up. with shimano the throw from biggest cog to smallest is the same from 8 speed through to 10 speed.

Say goodbye money! Is it worth it for 1 more cog?

That's the qu, is it really worth it upgrading from 9 to 10 speed??

 

some say it is worth it, some say its just heavier, so im a little in the dark here...

obviously im sure every cyclist would want to ride witht he best componenets, as in 11speeed etc, but not all of us can....so i was thinking of getting there slowly by upgrading....

 

But if its really not worth it then i could save the money for other things...

 

I currently have a 105 9speed set up....

 

Another qu, is there any performance difference between the 105 standard set up and the 105 black edition??
