Confused. 105 is alot lighter than Apex or vice versa?
Sorry – didn’t mean to confuse.
Apex lighter than 105
When looking at complete bikes Apex is a lot cheaper than 105
When looking at groupsets Apex seems overpriced – Force looks better value online.
So when I was looking at complete bikes, the choice is basically Apex or Tiagra. Then the weight differential is even more exaggerated. So I thought I’d put up with the double-tap.
If I’d have been able to get a 105 bike for the same price as an Apex one, then it would be different.
Mind you, I’ve never liked Sram on the mountain bike, so it’s probably biased my opinion.
