I've only ridden Campagnolo for over 20 years now, but have managed to accumulate a fair few Shimano compatible parts (wheels , brakes, chainset, some cassettes, 9 and 10s i think). To make a full build I think I only need shifters, front and rear mechs, and possibly cassette and chain, depending on the shifters and mechs ...
So, if I was looking to swap a bike over to Shimano, and have it somewhat future proofed with spare parts, what would he the best option to look for? 11 speed 105 looks good, but my hubs are "standard" 8-10 speed HG, so I think only 11s MTB cassettes will fit? Are these readily available? Or should I look at 10 speed to avoid problems with my wheels?
This is all for mechanical shifting and rim brakes. Hidden cables on the shifters please, so I think that rules out anything less than 10 speed? And preferably 105 level or above... Although I am considering Ltwoo just on price alone!
