Boardman Road Comp - Upgrade to 105 Brakes

ScottAspect45

Looking at picking up a Boardman Road Comp '10, only thing that puts me off slightly are the brakes. Is there anything stopping me just buying these 105 brakes? Compatibility issues or anything? I'm not massively up on road components

You dont have the same shifters though do you?

Basically just need to know if the 105 calipers are compatible with the comp frame and the tiagra shifters/levers

Rather than upgrading brakes you have yet to try, save your money & get a set of Koolstop pads.

I like to get things right first time, so I'd rather just swap the component out now for the sake of £50, rather than shell out for pads and then possibly have to buy brakes still and then be left with a set of used brakes that are less saleable. At least I know 105s are up to the job from the outset.

Any ideas on the compatibility?

They will work.
