Shimano 105 5701 Derailleur 10 Speed Upgrade Kit

With this Shimano 105 5700 10-Speed Climbing Derailleur Upgrade kit no mountain is too high anymore. With this kit you can put an extra light climbing resistance on your 10-speed mounted road bike.

Difference between double and triple
The largest cassette sprocket you can place differs between a bike with a double crankset (2 chainrings at the front) and a bike with triple crankset (3 chainrings at the front). This has to do with the capacity that the rear derailleur needs to keep the chain at an optimal tension at all times. We therefore recommend not to deviate from this.

Derailleur Upgrade Kit with 11/32 cassette
The Derailleur Upgrade Kit with an 11/32 cassette consists of a Shimano 105 5700 rear derailleur, Shimano Ultegra 6600 chain and a Shimano HG500 10-Speed 11/32 cassette. This kit is suitable for bikes with a double, 2x10-speed crankset.
The HG500 10-speed 11/32 cassette has an excellent price-performance ratio, shifts smoothly and has good durability. The Shimano 105 5700 rear derailleur shifts smoothly and is not too heavy. The Shimano Ultegra 6600 chain completes it all and supports direct shifting.

Derailleur Upgrade Kit with 12/30 cassette

Not suitable for Shimano Tiagra 4700 shifters
The Shimano 105 5700 10-Speed Climbing Derailleur Upgrade kit is not suitable for 10-speed Shimano Tiagra 4700 shifters. These are the Shimano Tiagra shifters in which all cables run under the handlebar tape.
