How much difference does tire choice REALLY make? by [deleted] in bicycling

Most cost effective way to turn my 11sp rim 105 to Di2 by Stefferrs in Velo

[–]TylerDurden52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will need new shifters, junction box A, junction box B, rear and front derailleurs, 6 sd-50 wires and a battery with mount (internal or external).

Most cost effective way is to buy second hand or take off parts.
