This may be a stupid question, but can I fit 105 brifters on hydraulic disks brakes.
I am about to try and build up the ultimate commuter. I picked up an avanti blade elite for cheap, which has a mixture of 105/tiagra, a flat bar and shimano hydraulics (don’t know which ones).
My plan is to update the forks to carbon, upgrade the tiagra FD to a 105 and probably the cranks too. Then add drops and brifters if it’s possible. Then of course the easy commuter essentials of mudguards, carry rack, touring pedals and smug.
The TRP system seems perfect but costs as much as the bike did. Might have to stick with the flat bar for a while, or maybe try and find some cheap mechanical disks or a whole lot of spacers.
