I schmaak those pedals too. If my shins could pucker they'll pucker like a live oyster splashed with Tabasco. And those brakes look a lot like Tekro. I am intrigued by the callibrations on the bottom jockey wheel. I can't wait for the marketing spin on that one.

Does look like a lot of Shimano-inspired design.  Why another company would choose to route their cables externally is beyond me.  Systems is 2:1 actuation to make it all Shimano compatible, and my understanding is the spacing is all the same as Shimano.  So you could use any Shimano compatible cassette and mix and match your Sampson components with Shimano.  Gives the option of carbon levers and Shimano rest.

Why does external cabling bother you...... you should look at the road when cycling and not at the cables. When cycling and they work as well as dependable as Shimano I do not worry where they are routed.

COMPETITION can only mean one thing - we as consumers benefit !!

 

I'm sure allot of these comments did the rounds when cyclists first moved away from the holy grail of Campag onto Shimano....now - it's the next step...

Luckily for kempekkernoglia there was no messageboards around in those ancient times. If this had happened now, kempekker would not have survived the onslaught of the media with their limited range of components designed only for the exclusive or boutique cyclist who only uses kempekker because of their grandoise dream of Coppi on gravel roads in the mountains with old man Tulio glowering in the shadows!!!!!!!!!

A nee a Oom.  ek is teleurgesteld.

 

Bietjie meer van 'n ander "responce" gesoek.

Iets soos hoe hulle (Sampson) net kopi?r wat Shimano doen.  Geen initiatief nie.  Ry op die rug van die onbreekbare, onwringbare, onbreekbare, magtige Shimano.   

 

Nou kom speel oom met koddige woordjies soos kempekker?  Dit sal nie deug nie.

oompie' date=' have you figured out the difference between copying and stealing yet?[/quote']

 

steel2, (w), ge=. 1. Wederregtelik toe-eien en verwyder en die produk  in die proses verbeter, diefstal pleeg. 2. (tennis) In jou medespeler se baan speel. dit steel 'n mens se hart, jy raak verlief daarop; sy is om te steel, 'n mens kan haar sommer liefkry. steelbaar.

 

kopieer, ge=. 1. Naskrywe, oorskrywe. 2. 'n Getroue afbeeldsel maak van iets en dit in die proses verbeter. 3. So letterlik moontlik beskrywe of teken.

 

Happy??????..... might not be what you require but enjoy the reading!!!!!!!!
