Campag is SEXY
Campagnolo
I mean look at it... Just look at it!
Chainset and brakes would go straight on my number one bike. XT is on there right now
In fact, I'm on the hunt for a Campag triple chainset, putting my money where my mouth is!
Notwithstanding, it is true that changing gears while hammering might get you into trouble with Campagnolo OR conversely there is no denying that Hyperglide is an awesome technology... It works
I think that was the deciding factor in competitive MTBing you couldn't change gear as well with OR compared to XT... the end
But away competitive MTBing we care about other things too.... Shimano's quality can be extremely patchy in terms of finish and as for aesthetics? XTR... grey? Hmm nice one
I tend to stick with XT cos XTR looks like it's made of plastic and is horrendous when scratched
And what is it with the flimsy decals on so much Shimmy stuff? Can't they cast or stamp logos and branding?
Also the fact that Shimano makes loads of rubbish components too, means that they have much less brand allure and kudos
Sorry turning into a bit of a what I hate about Shimano rant so I'll shut up
BTW my wife bakes cakes, I encouraged her to do a battenburg and it was amazing
