Woofie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Cool link, just found out I can save about 300 grams by changing to Sram Red! And I don't have to sell my car to buy the group! haha mmm... I will save the 300 if I just stop eating chocolate today.Hang on, I think there is still one caramel bear in my draw still.*looking*Dam. Ate the whole family yesterday.Bummer.
Woofie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have Sram Red BB30...what do I win? I have had three red groups and there are variances in their parts weights...so you may get a "heavy " set of shifters...or a "light" RD The kids assembling the parts probably dropped too much glue in some components
Woofie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Wow, I could probably save in the region of like 400grams by moving to red.
EZRider Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 SHIMANO Guys, where are you? SRAM and Campagnolo are well represented We are out riding our bikes, not weighing them!
101SCC Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 We are out riding our bikes, not weighing them! Haha, yup with that extra weight - I guess all the extra training is essential!
Big J-WP Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 With Campag we don't need to train as much and as hard Sharp Brother Sharp

Jakkals. Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 just yesterday i upgraded from campy record or SR. man o man, what a difference. the thing about campy is that it actually gets better with time. my record was much smoother than the SR. the SR is only on my racing bike so it will probly shift better next year, but damn its worth the wait. haha.
Coimbra Cycle House Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Well, thats until the Record casette has worn out and you have to buy another one @ R2500, compared to SRAM Red @ R1500 (totalcycling prices). SRAM is steel, it will last much longer, too.CAMPAG dont wear out,it wears in.
EZRider Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 With Campag we don't need to train as much and as hard We Shimano types are like fixie mtb riders - we do it because we LIKE the pain We also eat stew, grow beards and don't shave our legs...
bikemonster Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 We Shimano types are like fixie mtb riders - we do it because we LIKE the pain We also eat stew, grow beards and don't shave our legs... That's your recumbent parked outside, isn't it?
Bat-ass Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 with the weight of frames and wheelsets these days, you dont need a light groupset!!! just some solid reliability!!! SHIMANO ALL THE WAY... 9 million bicycles in Beijing, i wonder how many are on Campy or Sram?
AndreZA Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Shimano fan for 18 years now but I think they are becomming ugly. Hate the look of the new cranks and hate the dark grey and polished silver even more.
Woofie Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Shimano fan for 18 years now but I think they are becomming ugly. Hate the look of the new cranks and hate the dark grey and polished silver even more. Also a shim fan. So what was a pretty groupset for you then. I thought that the 7900 crank looks better than the 7800...... Would you prefer more carbon?
Christie Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 CAMPAG dont wear out,it wears in.Answer me this: Why then do 10x Ergopower levers rattle?
bikemonster Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Answer me this: Why then do 10x Ergopower levers rattle? FWIW, mine don't, not after 7 years or so and several thousand kilometres. I do remember the rattle that my 105 9 speed and a mate's Ultegra had. I do not believe that any gruppo is significantly better than competitors' equivalents, so let's not see this as another Hub religious war.
