Buy Complete Groups – Smooth Shifting, Powerful Braking

Looking for a complete upgrade for your road bike? With complete groups, you can replace all the essential moving parts of your drivetrain and braking system at once. Hollandbikeshop offers a wide range of top brands, always delivered quickly and with expert advice.
 

What is a complete group?

A complete group consists of all the essential components that ensure the drivetrain and shifting on your road bike. Think of the crankset, derailleurs, shifters, cassette, chain, and brakes. These components work best when they are well-tuned to each other. That’s why many cyclists opt for a groupset instead of individual parts.
The components in a group ensure that you can shift smoothly, pedal efficiently, and brake safely. In road cycling, it is crucial that everything works precisely. A well-tuned group reduces wear and ensures better performance, especially on long rides or climbs.
 

Different Complete Groups

There are various types of complete groups, each with its own characteristics and price ranges. The main differences lie in the technology used, the materials, and the number of gears.
•    Mechanical or Electronic Shifting: Mechanical groups use cables. Electronic groups shift with a motor. Electronic shifting is more precise and requires less maintenance.
•    Number of Gears: There are groups with 10, 11, or 12 gears. The more gears, the smoother you can shift.
•    Material: Aluminum groups are lightweight and affordable. Carbon and titanium are even lighter and stiffer, but also more expensive.
•    Disc Brakes or Rim Brakes: Disc brakes provide stronger braking and are more reliable in wet weather. Rim brakes are lighter and easier to maintain.
•    Suitable for Bike Type: Most complete groups are specifically for road bikes. MTB groups or city bike groups are not compatible with road frames and wheels.
 

What to Consider When Buying Complete Groups?

When choosing a group, pay attention to the following points:
•    Compatibility: Does the group fit your frame? Is the group suitable for your type of brakes?
•    Gear Ratio: Choose the right number of sprockets for your terrain and riding style.
•    Material: Choose between aluminum, carbon, or titanium, depending on weight and budget.
•    Shifting Type: Mechanical or electronic, depending on preference and ease of maintenance.
•    Weight: Lighter groups are often more expensive but provide better performance.
•    Brake Type: Ensure that the brakes of the group match your current setup.

Maintenance 

Electronic groups require less adjustment but need to be charged. Additionally, regular cleaning and proper lubrication extend the lifespan of your group. Also, check for wear on the chain and cassette to prevent damage to other components.

Some of the most popular brands include:
•    Shimano: Reliable and affordable. Suitable for all levels, from beginner to pro. Shimano offers both mechanical and electronic groups, such as the well-known Ultegra and Dura-Ace.

Frequently Asked Questions about Complete Groups

Which complete group fits my road bike?

Check the size of your bottom bracket and frame type. Also, pay attention to the type of brakes (disc or rim) and the number of gears on your current wheelset.
 

What is the difference between mechanical and electronic groups?

Mechanical shifting is done with cables. Electronic shifting is more precise and requires less adjustment. However, you need to regularly charge the battery for electronic groups.
 

Can I replace individual parts within a groupset?

Yes, but it is important that they are compatible. Combining parts from different brands or series can cause shifting or adjustment issues.
 

How many gears do I need?

That depends on your riding style. 11 or 12 gears offer more shifting options and are ideal for hilly terrain. For flat terrain, a simpler system suffices.
 

Is it difficult to assemble a groupset myself?

For experienced cyclists, it is manageable. If you have less experience, it is advisable to have the groupset installed by a bike mechanic; especially with electronic groups, precision is important.
