Seven day round-up: Shimano 105 groupset, Tour of Britain route & more

The best of the last week on RCUK

These go to eleven: the 5800-series iteration of Shimano 105 has an extra sprocket, bringing it in line with the 11-speed drivetrains offered by Dura-Ace and Ultegra.

Shimano unveiled the 11-speed iteration of the popular 105 groupset this week, which also included their first mechanical shifter for hydraulic disc brakes.

But we were lucky enough to be treated to a sneak peek at the components in February, photographing them at the Milton Keynes HQ of Shimano’s UK distributor, Madison.

And we can now share our gallery with you, alongside full details of pricing and UK availability.
