Not one that you're going to notice. Adjusted well--the new Tiagras
are a really nice hub for a ridiculously cheap price. I had them on a
bike I sold--only part that didn't bug me ;-). The 105 races may or
may not be ground more finely--if someone knows the technical dirty
details--I'd love to know, but for daily duty, I'd build on Tiagra,
making sure that the bearings are correctly adjusted.

But hey--if you've got bux--go 105, Ultegra--or go Phil Wood, Paul or
better--I'm just saying that if you've got taps on your heels, Tiagra
will work fine.
