Aedon Posted May 13, 2009 Share And all the Campy owners let out a sigh, because they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Posted May 13, 2009 Share Seems the main difference between this and the Chorus and records is material and weight. The mechanism seems to be exactly the same for all the gruppos, ie, you can drop from big sprocket to small with one click of the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 14, 2009 Share Interesting, thanks Para. Nice to see the weight so low at just 2.2kg! I really don't think the extra speed was necessary though. I mean what is wrong with 10? It just creates more compatibility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 14, 2009 Share Me thinks para is a closet campy fan How do you think I know all this stuff. Seriously, I think I would have stuck with campy, yes I did use it at one stage, if it was not for the price and availablity of stock. And how can you be a true follower if you brand does not cater for all your needs. They do not make MTB parts. So how can you be "campy is the best and all else is crap" if you sit with Shimano or Sram on your MTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the FB stuff is vaporware, have only ever seen official Campy pictures. Would love a set of Chorus FB shifters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 14, 2009 Share Mampara is right about the replacement parts thing. I'm a Scampy lover, but some of the prices quoted by J&J are just crazy. Like R600 for 4 replacement spokes for my electrons. And you can only buy a set of four. R250 for an ergolever clamp which shouldn't cost more than R15. R350 for a BB tool with no handle; local equivalent is R25. It's just gouging, and it is not good for customer loyalty. I'm fairly certain now that my next groupset will be Dura Ace. The shape of the levers is very similar to Campy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are specially reserved in the refurbishment of a grand old lady that deserves pride of place so the garment will be Campag......!! Nice hoops hey?
