AndreZA Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 No more visible cables. I liked it. But guess what. It will not be compattible with 7800 or earlier derailleurs. So they are making more money. http://www.velonews.com/files/images/shimano_09_crop.jpg What I like more is the new Flight Deck- Still integrated in the shifters - Additionnal functions: * hearth rate monitor * altimeter * slope indicator * wireless 2.4GHz frequency * wireless datas downloading to the PC Mampara2008-03-27 01:29:34
GreyOwl Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Sorry, but I think its very ugly!! I'm sure it will work fantastically, but they could have made the levers look nicer... But, I do think the calipers look nice... Just my opinion... Wonder what it will cost?

GreyOwl Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I read that Mampara, hopefully they will look better. I just dont like that plastic thingy thats under the hood. But I remember when the new style Campagnolo levers came out in the late 90's...I thought they were the fugliest things ever!! Now they look cool... That prototype carbon crank did look nice though...
Man with no name Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 The levers look a lot like the current SRAM levers!? Nice nevertheless, the old Dura-Ace is due for an upgrade There's some more info on Cyclingnews.com http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=tech/2008/features/shimano_da09_rumours_mar08
javadude Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I must say, those new levers are a far site better looking than the current levers.
wisecrack Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I think I'll stick to my current Dura Ace group set. Wonder what this will set one back when released?
ShortLegs Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 Pros: Brake calipers/blocks look and sound like a decent improvement The carbon derailleur will be sweet if it looks anything like XTRFlight Space-deck Chain - it's about fr1gging time ffsCables - neater is sweeter, scratch that off your arguments list Scampy fansCons: The carbon cranks are rumoured to not go into production Carbon levers... looks a bit like following the rest of the pack to me Weight - will the groupset challenge RED/Record? 7800 compatibility
