Happy just riding Bike Setup:
BMC CX01 with Shimano 105 group. Summary:
I was pretty happy with it untill after about 200 km the LH shifter suddendly refused to shift down. Tried to find a service manual (another saga)but without success. Being a mechanical engineer decided to look at the inner workings myself. Nothing appeared to be broken or jammed. Checked feedback on line from other users and decided to give lubrication a go - Triflo. Magic! It started working again. Now a dose every week:-) Strengths:
Came with a bike as a reasonably priced package Weaknesses:
Seem to be needing a regular maintenance - lubrication Similar Products Used:
None

2008 Scattante CFR Bike Setup:
bike set up? it's a road bike. Summary:
I joined the club with failed left 105 shifters last night. It feels like the rachet / shift mechanism is just gone. Stays on the small ring, no more clicky.
I was planning on DA for my dream bike... now maybe SRAM. Strengths:
came with the bike cheap Weaknesses:
breaks Similar Products Used:
Ultegra groupset

$0.00 Bike Setup:
2009 Specialized Roubaix. 6r Carbon. Roval Fusee SL wheelset. S-Works tires. Summary:
Crap left shifter busted after 220 miles. Dealing with Shimano and their awful warranty issues. I may just buy Ultegra now after reading all of these bad reviews on the 105 shifters. Weaknesses:
Must be using cheap, Chinese parts inside.

Anything Without rain or cold Bike Setup:
Fuji professional with dura ace components for everything but the shifters. Summary:
Well seeing as how these shifters have gone thousands of miles without any problems, i would say that they work pretty well. My dad had them on his bike, but when he upgraded to full dura ace i got these. The dura ace stuff is a lot smoother, but 105 will work fine for anyone who just wants to ride. Strengths:
Cheaper than dura ace, pretty durable, last a long time as long as you take care of them. actually work unlike tektro and below that. Weaknesses:
not perfectly smooth. rattle so loudly on a rough road (thus annoying riders around you and yourself) Similar Products Used:
I would say sora but that stuff does not work

at REI Favorite Ride:
with cars whizzing by gotta love it Bike Setup:
Novara Strada, Shimano rims & 105, FSA cranks and BB Summary:
Another craptastic product way to make a shifter that breaks within the first 100 miles. Even the best bike techs came up empty trying to fix the inner workings of the shifter. I could go up but not down on the front derailler. New ones cost around $140 give or take and then the labor to install them. Head in hands,unhappy road biker. :( Strengths:
Ummmm they are shiney. Like the black color. Comes with a computer plug in the shell. I discovered it when the tech took it apart. Weaknesses:
Don't plan on changing gears, single speed all the way. Similar Products Used:
balsa wood airplanes that break in the first day.
