Hello I've just changed my 105 cassette and replaced it with ultegra 6700 my old chain has no wear will they work together ok? Also can I put a 6700 braze on front ultegra mech on with 105 leavers?

I've just noticed the previous owner has the rear brake set up on the right shifter. Apart from moving tape etc is it a big job or should I take to lbs? Thanks

    Ref chain, best way to find out is to try it.

    Swapping cables over is easy. But the continental layout (front brake on left) does make for smoother cable runs!

It's easy enough, you just need to remove the tape, swap over the cables and retape. If it's 2nd hand, check the cables aren't starting to fray or wear, particularly at the 'plum' on the end
    Thanks
