Shimano 105 FD-5700 Front Mech
The wide link design makes for an extremely rigid design (bar the pivot points) that moves the chain with authority.
- Designed for use with Shimano 105 ST-5700 or Ultegra ST-6700 10-speed shifters.
- The aluminium parts are coated to resist corrosion and maintain their great looks.
- Light action spring reduces effort required to actuate shifts.
- Maximum capacity: 16 teeth.
- 84g (braze-on model).
Shimano 105
'After a good month of treating the new version of 105 to numerous ill-timed, mid-incline gear dumping and frantic braking, we can't recommend it highly enough. Systematically doing what we asked it to do with the minimum amount of fuss, or issue, and with its new improved looks, unless you're racing every weekend or absolutely made of money you'd be criminally insane to even consider overlooking Shimano's 105 in favour of Ultegra.'
