I have an Avanti Cadent 1 which carries the Shimano 105 groupset apart from the brakes which are Tiagra.
The gear cables exit the levers from the side. I want to tidy up the front end by updating the levers so I can run the gear cables under the bar tape.
Can I just replace the levers with the new 105 or even Ultegra levers or is it more complicated than that?
Basically I suppose what I am asking is if the new 105 or Ultegra levers are compatible with the older model 105 gears and Tiagra brakes. Will I have to change the whole groupset to upgrade?
I am new to this site so if this has already been answered excuse me and point me in the right direction.
All help appreciated.
