Shimano disk brakes and groupset
ben-----
Posts: 573
If I bought a disk brake frame, so far as the groupset and brakes go, I'd be after Shimano 105 5800 and Shimano RS685 hydraulic brakes - I'm not even a 100% sure those two things go together? How much would that cost? What exactly would I need to get? I don't quite understand the interplay / overlap between those two things and when buying disc brakes what exactly is needed?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you can afford it get the ultegra disc group set from Merlin sometimes they have 10% off too0

Look at the spec on this bike, it uses Shimano 11sped compatible RS685 STI/Hydro brake levers and RS785 caliper and 140 disc rotors.

There is also http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/content/seh-bike/en/home/road/shifting---braking/dual-control-levers/st-r785.html
There is also the new 105 level ST-5505-R / ST-5505-L, BR-5505 Caliper/Rotor0 -
Starbike have the 105 groupset with hydraulics for just over £500 IIRC.
I think you want a frame with the attachment points for the brakes on the chain stays rather than the seat stays.
think Kinesis T5 rather than Kinesis pro60 -

Ah right, I didn't know a 105 hydraulics version groupset exists - its existence answers my question. Thanks.0
