I notice that cycles Uk are doing 0% on the synapse which comes with discs. How easy would it be to fit the new Shimano ST-RS685 hydraulic disc/mechanical gears levers with the matching calipers from shimano?

I know nothing about discs and i dont want to buy the bike and find that the mounts are all wrong!

cheers!

    The only compatibility issue is with the drivetrain. The ST-RS685 hydraulic disc/mechanical gears levers are 11-speed, where as you will be getting a 10 speed shimano 105 group. Not a huge deal, but worth pointing out. Everything else is golden, though it won't be the easiest task to do the internal brake housing routing.
