Hello

I have just bought a Forme Axe Edge Sport both the front and rear derailleur has been upgraded to ultegra 6700.It is currently fitted with microSHIFT and I would like to upgrade the shifters to 105.Does anyone know if Shimano 105 5700 or 5800 is compatible with ultegra 6700 derailleurs.

many thanks
josh

    105 5700 are compatible as they're 10 speed, 5800 is 11 speed and won't shift correctly.

    shimano st-5700 and any 10sp shimano road shifter ,EXCEPT tiagra 4700, will be A-OK. 5800 shifters are not only 11sp but they also feature the new cable pull system of shimano. so even if you buy an 11sp cassete and 11sp shifters you will need to change BOTH derailleurs! in general 7,8,9 mtb and road and 10sp ROAD only deraileurs have the same cable pull ratio.
