    Before i pull the trigger on these;

    http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/shimano-105-black-5800-11spd-brake-set/?___store=default#pid=1531

    Will they be compatible with 9 speed Sora shifter/brake levers? Bit of research gives mixed reports.

    I was using the same calipers with 9-speed Tiagra shifters before I upgraded and they worked absolutely fine. Vastly better than the Tektro’s that had been on before. I’m now using them with 10-speed 105 shifters and they’re also fine.

    Cheers epicsteve. They are to replace stock tektro’s on a Defy which are poor at best.

    Yeah they’ll be fine.

    I used them with 3500 sora shifters for 1,000s of miles.

    I tried decent pads on the Tektro’s first and that was a big improvement, but the 105 calipers and the standard pads they came with were better still.
