Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I am buying new wheels - Fulcrum 3, and my current setup is on 105. However I see the Ultegra cassette is not much more, can I use that with 105 gear?

Wiggle have good discount on cassettes till midnight I see.

thanks

    Yes.
    More problems but still living....
  • Any need for a new chain to switch to this? Going to get a friend to put the cassette on, I am assuming its not a task for a non-diy guy

    Your existing 105 chain will work fine (assuming it is 10-speed - I think all 105 chains are).

    Cassette replacement is pretty easy but you need certain tools (chain whip, lockring tool, adjustable spanner). You'll probably need to do it again in a year, so it makes sense to buy them now :)
