    Hi everyone,

    I am looking into buying my first racebike. I have a fairly good option, a ridley pegasus with almost all shimano 105’s (exept front crank = tiagra). But because the bike was not used for a long time the shifters were stuck due to dried fat, now the bikeshop has put in Sunrace shifters instead of shimano tiagra’s or 105’s. \

    What is your experience/ opinion on sunrace shifters (new 130 euro’s). Should I consider them or is it safer to get a bike with full shimano 105’s with quite a bit more wear?

    Thanks for the anwer, I will keep your comments in mind if I choose to take this bike for a testride. I read elsewhere that the travel of the downshift lever was quite big, but that I will have to try out myself

    Translation of grease I guess

    Translation of grease I guess. Or maybe it really was lubricated with lard?
