not sure if anyone else has posted this so..


prefer it to the new dura-ace.

Yes, someone else has. But well done for trying ;)

i'll say it then.

FAIL.

don't be hard on yourself, it's not your fault you're stupid!

it's those inbred druid genes you carry.

:P

Where's the original thread then?

Don't like the hoods, way too Shitmano looking.

Maybe I got confused with a thread on the Rollapaluza forum. In that case I'll admit a semi-fail.

it was up, i think mike (tramp) posted it as "way off topic" or something.

No, I was right. Quelle surprise.

The infamous Right Brothers.

carbon looks tacky.

haterz.

it's a high-performance groupset. it's crushingly expensive. apparently the new levers are more comfortable than the old ones.

and there's nothing wrong with Shimano.

er, and the 11 speed.

We don't do CampagNOlo.

campic fail
the levers look shit

the new dura ace looks shitter, though

fixed is the way to go

We'll all be a-double-tapping with SRAM before the decade's out.

adoubletap - are you patented by SRAM?

Well done for remembering, Scarlett :0) Just shows I don't read every thread on here!

Yeah, the levers look shit, they seem to be swaying towards the beefier look that Shitmano have been using for the past few years, plus the fact that pro riders seem to prefer the high-level hoods. Funny really, when you buy a new pair of Campag levers, in the instructions it still says to line the brake lever up horizontal to the floor when positioning them on the bars.

All this beefy stuff started with their first version outbound bearing cranksets, I much prefer the older style, pure beauty :0)

like this you mean?

Nice one pj!

I don't do aught else. 4 groupsets, the reason why is my secret.

I am a road cyclist, as wel as a track cyclist, and i have only campa on all of my bikes, but really, this 9-10-11 speed thing is going to far imo. they are all wachting from a marketing standing point, like more gears are better??? this is bullshit, first, it all gets more sensitive for failieur, and second, the wheels get more a symetrical, and so more sensitive for spoke breaking. also in a race you dont even need more then 5 cogs and 1 plateau imo, and in races with climbing, a double plateau, all this shit with more and more gears is going to far!!! fixed gear is the best, fuck the rest

^ 8,9,10,11 speed all use that same hub, so has it got something to do with "more a symetrical"?

The new 11 speed is self-adjusting. Not a lot of people know that, eh Micheal.

Try and do 14% incline for 5 miles on a fixed and spin down the other side.

Will I get a prize?

Absolutely. (To be discussed).

More than a Macdonalds for sure.

Just as well. Not too popular with anti-capitalist vegetarian types :p

Perhaps a voucher entitling me to jump the queue for knee replacement operations?

you win the prize for the most contradictory post so far this year.

if 5 cogs and 1 ring is all you need, then why does everyone in the TDF and one day classics ride a standard road doubles with a 10/11 speed cassette?

don't be afraid of change. i have a two geared bikes, one has a 1970s close ratio 5 speed cassette, 15-20 and 42:53 on the front. the other has a 12:25 and 39:53. i know which one i'd prefer to ride up ventoux on.

^ coz they got sponsored

yes okay, i didn't know that, but 8 speed is to much also imo.
