Strengths: shifts well... if you pedal at around 60 cadence, and are a featherweight on the pedals (barely pushing at all)Weaknesses: shifts as well as 105, alot shakier, less solid feeling than DA or 105, slips teeth under torque, really flimsy feeling. not worth the cost, compared to 105 or DA.Bottom Line: I used this on my friend's Trek 1500 multiple times, and tested it on several cannondales (six13, etc), Trek 5000s, and trek 2200s. Horrible. HORRIBLE.
yeah, it shifts as fast as 105 triple, but it cant take the torque; i ride 105 normally and it shifts AS FAST as the ultegra, and it can take torque; with my 105 it never slips, with the ultegra, i could feel a tooth or two slip EVERY TIME I SHIFTED. admittedly, im a really torquey rider (i break toe clips after 20 miles. and cleats after 2500. eek), but come on guys, if 105 and DuraAce can handle it, shouldnt ultegra? i mean its basically duraace, but slower and heavier, and 105, well, it should be faster and better htan 105...
Favorite Ride: Kickapoo and back
Purchased At: N/A
Similar Products Used: 105, DuraAce, Record, Centaur, Veloce, ALL triple or double
Bike Setup: Trek 1200. Tiagra Shifters, all 105 through rest of gear train, Matrix hubs, Bontrager Select Saddle, etc etc; basically upgraded here and there, but mostly stock

Strengths: Good shifting, holds adjustment, looksWeaknesses: Well, none really, but it's not Dura-Ace and that may be a weakness for some.Bottom Line: This rear derailleur came stock on my Trek 1500. It shifts smoothly, hasn't needed adjustment often at all, looks good, not too heavy. What more do you want? Sure all the really serious racers and wanna be racers are gonna be using Dura-Ace, but most wouldn't be using a triple anyway. I've found most of the Ultegra components to be quite good, and this derailleur is no exception.
Favorite Ride: antwhere not raining
Purchased At: Bicycle Connection
Similar Products Used: 105
Bike Setup: Trek 1500 with Loook pedals, Cane Creek Wheels, and Vredestein tires.
