Serge Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) My 2012 Cannondale Supersix 5 105. Despite being all 105 equipped, the brakes are Tektro. Worth changing to 105 or Ultegra brakes? Edited August 25, 2014 by Serge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Never tried 105 brakes, but I have ultegra on one of my bikes and I like then a lot I have some fancy schmancy ultra high end carbon fiber ones also and I'd say the ultegra have better stopping power and better adjustability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 the ultegra brakes are a bit smoother but don't offer any more stopping power IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Makes sense. How big of a difference do pads make? I've read good things about Kool Stop Salmon pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 are you having problems with your brakes? oh wait i just re-read you have Tektro brakes...i see your problem... Going from the tektro's to 105/ultegra will make a nice difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 it all depends on the year. Dura ace 2012 turns into Ultegra 2013 turns into 105 2014. follow? so depending on the year, will tell you tech. i'm in my office cleaning my CX bike and see i have the tekto's. Now they are Canty's but the shimano stuff blows these away. no single pad as ever stood out to me. I ask for whats the best for my type of riding and set up.

Makes sense, I've read that it trickles down through the years. I'll have to keep an eye out on the year when looking at parts. The Tektro brakes aren't bad, per se, but if I can get a noticeable improvement it's something I want to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good pads and adjust the toe exactly in the sweet spot. They'll work just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 the actuation and modulation is going to feel a lot better with higher end brakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
