My groupset is all shimano 105 other than crank which is fsa (bb30)
The cassette is 11-28 which is great for hilly rides but most of mine are on very flat terrain so struggle to get a good cadence, I want to change it for something like 12-25
If I replace with the same 105 5700 cassette and chain cost will be about £80-£90 but if I use other compatible components I can do it for about half the cost.
Unsure which way to go, will other brand/grade parts make a noticeable difference to performance or shifting?
What way have others gone?
