Campagnolo -v- Shimano

peterako

Jumping in late...sorry....

Campag and Shimano are different beasts doing the same job.....(SRAM too).

And for me it boils down to preference....

Having used both Shimano and Campag over the years the best comparison I can make is....(not price based but 'performance' based and purely subjective)

Super Record and Record. No equivalent.
Chorus - Dura Ace
Centaur/Daytona - Ultegra
Veloce - 105
Xenon/Mirage - Tiagra/Sora

But there is really no 1 to 1 relationship.

I've been using Chorus for year snow and it would take a lot to change my mind...

My 2c worth

My BH Classic G-2 Mirage L62 was more expensive than the Classic G-2 105 L60. Exact same bikes only mine has the Mirage groupset and the other the 105 groupset. It's a sweet ride all the same.

generally the gears are very "sensitive" and need every 3rd ride tuning.

Slighty off topic but there is a lot of talk over on WW about the 2009 centaur shift levers, all their problems that is. I think this is what you have ?. Anyway if you haven't seen it here's the link. I have no problem with mine but you have to use the option to route the cable at the back of the handlebar otherwise the cable will hang up and ensure all the housings are set up perfectly.
