Cycling product prices skyrocket primarily for one reason people will pay it to avoid looking like or thinking they bought something other than high end. (Motobecane Fantom Cross CX or Dawes Lightning Cross) Any updates or comparisons Weight Handling Thanks in advance. Once that is done, they all seem to work pretty well under normal riding around conditions.Īs cyclists, our pride often renders us fodder for savy marketers. The caviat here is that all shifters must be properly adjusted. My buddy's 105 does not perform differently from my Dura Ace either. Tiagra just seems to make a lot more sense for a used and abused cross bike and it works just fine for me. In fact, when my Major Jake's Dura Ace Shifters wore out (they do that), I replaced with Tiagra and have never looked back. My DA bike feels like a feather compared to my wife's Fuji with 2200 parts.I pretty much agree with the above.I could see the possibility that in the heat of racing where split second shifting under enormous loads is critical one might see a difference, but I don't see shifting performance differences between my Dura Ace and Tiagra bikes. The only difference is when I pick the bike up. I ride all of them and I can tell you there is no difference in shifting performance. I have another bike that is Deore(Tiagra) and my wife's bike is 2200. Another one of my bikes is XTR (MTB comparable to DA).
Dawes lightning cross weight full#
One of my bikes is full DA, the other is Ultegra. The only difference in performance is the weight.
