Look guis. They made Claris look pro. Four arm crankset, internally routed shifter cables, same shifter shape as 105.
How long before Tiagra Di2 is released?

Also its now 9 speed.
That's cool, but I just got full Claris shit except crank arm/chainrings.
My front shifter has 3 click stops, but I only have 2 gears. Is it possible to get the new Claris 3x front and use my old shifter?

Quite possibly with a bit of tinkering, I dont know much about triple setups. Not sure if they are rated to 9 speed only on this new claris
>>1052449
That seems to be a typo, everything else in that section says 8 speed still.

Oh yeah...just a functional overhaul then. Still, nice to see the trickle down

No. That's a trim step. You have one position for the smaller ring and two positions on the larger ring. You use them to trim out chin rub when cross-chaining. The step is much too small to be used for shifting.
A triple shifter would have four to five steps; two/one for the smallest ring, one for the middle ring and two for the large ring.

So why are you replying with your uninformed, and wrong, guesses? Seriously. If you don't know anything about the topic - shut the fuck up, m'kay? Verbal diarrhoea... Jesus.
It's cool these lower end sets constantly improve, but the current "pro" Shimano groupset look is fugly imho
I'm guessing something big coming in the looks department at the higher end. Otherwise they wouldn't do this
It's a PsyOp. Make your 105 indistinguishable from Clarissa do you feel the need to upgrade and seperate yourself from the plebs
>>1052756
WOWZERS!
Sorry sir you sure told me m'kay
>>1052756
And also that's not always true. Tourney for example has three click stops for a triple ring. My Claris bike has two click stops for the double.
