This Shimano / Campy argument is really tired. Is it not true that both Companies are dynamic and innovative, and both make superb allbeit competing products?

 

Why then do the proponents of the one feel this endless compulsive need to embark on this interminable bashing of the other?

 

Why, Big H, is this such a crusade for you? Explain it to me.

MMMMM  not bad for todays topic 3rd place in views @ 1458 and 2nd place for responses @75

 

Now to think up something to get the hubbers worked up about tomorrow.

 

 

 

A poll to see how many hubbers have actually ridden (and I don't mean a test ride around the parking lot) both Campag and Shimano and still prefer one or the other.

 

And by Campag and Shimano I mean Record and Dura-Ace - one can't compare Veloce to Ultegra or 105 to Record.  But how many people out there have actually had an opportunity to ride both and be in the position to make a qualified decision before ripping either one off?  Only the pro's?

 

Me thinks not many.

 

Nothingness, been there, done that.  Have ridden the following: Shimano Dura-Ace, Campy Chorus and SRAM Red.  Each one has it's own advantages and disadvantages.  E.g. I don't like the way the Shimano hoodies feel.  They are too bulky and uncomfortable for me (I don't have big hands).  On the other hand, the parts are easy to get hold of.  And so I can go on and on and on.  It's purely a "what I like and don't like" scenario.

 

As for oom H, he's just rattling a cage or 2.  Easy!!!!!  He gets under everyone's skin every now and then, but it's easy to ignore him.  And he's not really that bad, although he rides a "less than good" groupset!

Pleae leave Big H alone, he is the only mate i have who rides sh*tmaNo & is proud of it, all my other mates riding sh*tmaNo are highly embarressed and won't talk about it. I know he can't spell but i'm helping him with that. Once he masters spelling he will be allowed to ride Campag, then his life will be complete.
