I recently acquired a new frame and equipped it with 12 speed; my other frame has 10 speed. Noticeable differences 12 v 10 are:
- much less effort to shift gears with 12, especially in the front
- ergonomics of 12 are a VAST improvement over 10; I almost have the sensation that the 10 shifters "stick out"
- wider gear range is a huge plus.
I love the 10 speed and the bike it is on, but, for my money, 12 is a huge upgrade. When funds allow, my 10 speed (gruppo) will be retired.
