Changing my chain
I currently have full Ultegra kit on my road bike except for my rear 10 speed cassette and chain that are 105. (Chain is 105 directional chain 5701...I think)
When I change my chain which is now due, can I use a 6701 Ultegra chain with my105 cassette. My front chain rings are Ultegra.
I am going to have a go fitting it myself and getting a chain tool. I have watched a You Tube video on how to fit and it looks simple enough.

Yes you can - HG chain fits all other HG components - just remember the directional aspect of the chains...except HG- EV (6800 etc) for 11 speed
You could go KMC and make use of the 'missing link' connectors, which I find is easier than getting (and keeping a hold of - for emergencies) shimano pins...in case you need to repair/re-link during a ride.
I've used KMC (X10 SL Ti nitride) the last two chains (full 6700 on my bike) without any hiccup...
edit: have a look here..
