    2020 Civante Review, Initial 100 mile Impressions

    You can still find 105 10 speed gear. I have no interest in 11 spd. The 11 spd chains probably would not hold up to the torque. My interest in 105 is that the 105 Brifters shift better than Tiagra. A 105 rear derailleur also shifts a little smoother. The fronts are about the same. And a...

    Oski, Thanks for all the info. I will definitely look into all that gear. I don't ride clipless pedals though as my left knee screams at me when getting in and out of them. I have been riding toe clips for years. I just may cannibalize my non ebike for pedals and and some other gear...
