I have never once been unable to repair a Campy equipped bike. I'm not going to say never, but no so far.

My Campy popularity gets stronger every time i ride it, know what im sayin?
seriously, dropping the hammer with the thumbies is one of the best things in life, like hooking a wild steelhead or making the most wonderful woman in the world smile. |

We noticed it on group rides. You are surrounded by bikes with different groups and the Campy bikes had less of the buzzing sound.

I'm curious why you would need to adjust the cable tension on a non-Campy bike. Do Shimano or SRAM derailleurs somehow change shape over time?

I like Shimano. Don't get me wrong. But their pivots are famous for wearing out quicker than Campy. SRAM is faster than both. |

sram has chosen to go 'toe to toe' with shimano and altho they have made some inroads, OE/shimano bikes are much more common than sram/OE..Campagnolo has choosen to be a 'premium' brand, like Audi/Rolex/Porsche...shimano is like Toyota, sram like Hyundai/Kia...IMHO, of course.

I haven't owned Shimano for 20 years and I've never had Sram - but then, I didn't come here to diss them either.

I am still riding Record 10 from the mid-aughts on both my road bikes. Still works, and no desire to upgrade. I always said I would get some SR11 for my 40th birthday, but I'm 42 now and still love the 10-speed Record stuff. So it's still popular with me. If I had to upgrade, I'd go to 11-speed Record or Chorus.

I doubt it's still possible with 11 speed, but you used to be able to use Campy shifters with Sram/Shimano derailleurs. I have a friend who used to run a "Shrampagnolo" equipped crit bike; just whatever parts he could cobble together to make it work. think it was 8 or 9 speed though...? |

Unless you're riding Mavic Zap, your groupset sucks.

It seems like there are a good number of MTN bikes OeM equipped with SRAM, so I am trimming. Hey are doing OK on that side of the fence. Road bikes, right, doesn’t seem like much except for the halo builds where etap seems to be specced a fair amount, but how many of those are the bike companies really selling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
