Eldron Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Me? I'd like two groupsets... 1 Super Record to hang on my wall and covet daily.1 Dura Ace non electronic to use on my bicycle.
Guest Big H Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 At least you have not lost your sense of humour, it's good to chirp my old Shitmano buddy. Make sure you purchase only the best light construction equipment (Wacker Neuson) for those new roads up there, or they will all fall apart with the 1st vehicle that drives on them. Whakka for restricted bacfill in small areas and Bomag 60 and 90 for more open areas.
MTB_Roadie Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 off topic...but Di2 uses 2.4Ghz frequency right? When I used to drift RC cars I used a 2.4Ghz frequency, and another 99 People can use the same frequency before its starts clashing....what happens when the Di2 is being used by X amount of people and everyone starts shifting everyones gears?

Vetseun Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I ride Sram but man Campy is just so classic and lovely to look at. Had a record groupset at one stage, was fantastic. One rule though not everybike my be kitted with Campy, you just dont do it! And any italian brand bike has campy and nothing else on. Well thats my opinion in any case.
MTB_Roadie Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) doesnt it work with a electronic unit that tells the derailer to shift up or down? Edited January 6, 2011 by MTB_Roadie

Wouldnt you just love a kempekker MTB groupset??????
Vetseun Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Oh yeah Wouldnt you just love a kempekker MTB groupset??????
baie-sukkel Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Viva Campaq ! I just sold a almost new Shimano GS for nothing...............I tried it, but Nah !!! Went back to Campy ! Once you have shifted a campy, you don't go back :-) OK I shall leave you all now to correct me
Jeepdude Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 my sentiments exactly..... but then again conti wont be slow to react to a andy attack it will happen in unison...lol....thats when conti gets to ride again and sram no longer has a budget to sponsor all major players
Jeepdude Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 doesnt it work with a electronic unit that tells the derailer to shift up or down?it has wires from hoods to derailers and a battery pack.... other wise mr riss can sit in the car during TT's and do the shifts while cyclist just churns ze pedals
101SCC Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Boys .boys it is all down to personal choice....... If you ask me and I have ridden them all Campy & believe it not Micro-Shift have the best micro adjustment out of the lot, no scratch scratch ***, I am now on red and to me sram Red and dura-ace are the same concept.... they are on-off switches .As for weight that starts going all over the place when you use 175 cranks, BB30 etc.... So let look at this.... through some Zero Gravity brakes at 132g a set into the mix on a sram red press fit 30 BB a compct crank 52-36 and you will save an easy 250+ grams off the red groupset and will save yourself an easy 8k... over Super record.... So lighter for cheaper.......... See I don't have that issue, I have Zero Gravity Negative G SL's Custom Red and Black, Cannondale SI Sl BB30 Crank 53/39, Super Record 2011 Shifters, Rear and Front Mech, Cassette and Chain. I'm as light as I need to go... :blush:
101SCC Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Hey, I love the mechanical stuff and I'd be damn happy to have super Record myself, but for the real cutting edge I think Di2 has the lead. All the guys I know on Di2 swear by it and won't go back to anything else (I don't have the priviledge myself!) and wax lyrically about shifting without thinking and never missing a gear. I know that sounds like a small edge, but I'm sure Andy Schleck is quite happy to be riding it next year. Might just help to know every shift will work 100% guaranteed... Hey WH, I'm with you, think DI2 is cool, but How does it handle multiple gear shifts? and can't it be wireless? These are not statements but rather questions to those in the know...

101SCC Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Ask Gepetto, he may know He does, they've released their electric groupset, and if history repeats itself it will knock the socks of Shimano...
