Red Zone Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Oh no this topic again. Test ride all three. Each has a different way of shifting, and different shaped hoods and levers, see which one works best for you. At the top end all three groups are equal on performance, the differential is price, aesthetic and form. My advise is to go with Shimano, due to price, ease of maintanence and functionality, I started off with a full DA setup and am basically bastardising it with Ultegra for the disposable bits (chains, rings, sprokets etc...)
andretraut Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 XTR (for durability) on my mtb, and Red (for weight) on my road bike and happy with both.
andretraut Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Why?Bro, you call Shimano sh*t in the one line, and praise the brand in your next line, nuff to confuse all of us. Edited September 10, 2012 by andrè traut
MTB_Roadie Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Put it this way...I used to use Shimano, Upgraded to SRAM...will never go back to Shimano... and Campag is more for old people...

LOOK695 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Had DA 7900, moved over to Super Record and will not move back to DA. For me the campy shifters are much more comfi and I enjoy the shifting more. I just prefer the overall feel of campy. The best would be to test all 3 groupsets and make your decision on that.
Kranswurm Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Bro, you call Shimano sh*t in the one line, and praise the brand in your next line, nuff to confuse all of us. Don't sweat.It's just a term of affection........like Slumstead,The Victorian Slimes in Fish Hoek etc etc :-)
Max Headroom Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I have ridden shimano 105/ultegra/duraace for 25 years. latest mtb has sram0 and sram9 components and they have been useless so far. Never had so many problems with brakes and fragile rear derailleurs Shimano XT for MTB and Ultegra for ROAD - best option for me. Edited September 10, 2012 by Max Headroom
