  1. Is there anyone "in the know" who is aware of the new ultegra coming
    out as 10 speed. I remember last year when DA was coming out a bunch
    of people said, wait a year and ultegra would be coming out with a 10
    spd version. Looking at building a race bike and would be interested
    in ultegra if it was 10 spd, so i can swap wheels with my DA bike
    without having to swap cassettes at the same time. Thanks in advance.

    10 speed Ultegra should start becoming available sometime after Interbike in
    October. I would look for the new year for it to be in mainstream supply
    though.

    Yes and about $1100 for the group. Look at Campagnolo Centaur(10s for 5 years
    now), then use all your shimano wheels with a ultegra or DA 10s cogset. No more
    toasted levers or obsolete equipment.

  5. Peter,
    Thanks for the tip, i was trying to avoid having to buy any new wheels
    with the new bike, i have a set of nice wheels i'd use for racing and
    a set of training wheels to use for everyday riding. So i thought if
    i had my race bike hooked up with ultegra 10spd stuff i could just
    swap out wheels as i feel. The campy stuff really seems nice, my only
    issue is that i've never felt very comfortable from an ergonomic
    standpoint with the campy levers. I just didn't find the hoods
    comfortable at all. I really like the new DA levers, and they just
    fit my hands much better, so i think i'm gonna stick with shimano
    stuff. thanks for the info, so i should be able to start getting 10
    spd ultegra stuff in October? [email hidden] (Qui si parla

    The only reason to use shimano, IMO. Don't expect ultegra 10s to be anywhere
    but OEM in October. Individual stuff 'maybe' by January.

    Yes, that is pretty good. Odd, they mention that the freehub body is
    aluminum, yet in the pic it shows what appears to be the plain old steel
    Shimano one that we are all familiar with. I hope the 10s ultegra cassette
    will work on 10s Dura-Ace hubs!!!
