    Good for you.

    Thanks.

    It seems to me the 105 is so close to the ultegra I probably won't notice the difference between them?

    What's others thoughts?

    Kind regards.

    Get the ones you like the look of. Would have thought the cost is not that big a deal between the two and doubt you will notice a difference in performance.

    I do not like the black axle on the 105, or the mottled/marbled grey finish of the Ultegra ones...............so went for the Dura-Ace with the big fcuk off silver axles :P

    What group set is on the bike?

    You may find it worth a bit of an extra stretch (if you're quick) and go for these:

    Ultegra group set on the bike.

    Not sure I get your point about group set wideboy - if you're happy to consider 105 pedals, why would you turn your back on a bargain set of DA?

    Having owned 105 and ultegra and ultegra carbon pedals, the best to use day in and out are the ultegra carbon ones. they are easier to fit adjust and use, and are a bit lighter...

    Depends how bothered you are about saving weight

    Ive used both, 105 on my last bike and carbon ultegra on my new one, no difference in feel or performance at all. I just bought the ultegra to match my groupset

    Agree with Speckled - no difference
