I need to replace the drivetrain on my road bike, currently full 5700 105 set up, so have two questions:
1) can I re-use existing bottom bracket with a 4700/5800 chainset?
2) is there going to be a noticeable difference between a choice of a 5800 chainset, 5800 chain and 5700 cassette vs a 4700 chain set/chain/cassette?
There seems to be about a 40 quid difference between the two options. the 5800 chainset means that if I feel flush I can bring the bike onto 11spd to match my race bike for the price of shifters/derailleurs so has that benefit!
