I am replaceing the derailers and shifter pod on my bike would suggest going with sram or shimano? which works best? which is lightest? which is most reliable? go at it guys

i would say sram. nice clean, fast shifts and is not that heavy.

 

[mastercycleman]

Campy Centaur Flar Bar shifter

 

[V-Dub GTI]

i have x-9 and it is pretty sweet and x.0 is really pricy and its just because of the carbon fiber covers and a few upgredes from the x-9.

He doesn't need new stuff, he needs English lessons.

XO defintly has a more precise feel, than X.9. The price kinda sucks though. Shimano ends up being a bit lighter though. Butt who cares, damn Yagamoto Shimano.

oooooooooo awwwwww


Love Campy! but what derailer would he use ?

 

[tequiladougrox]

Those campy shifters pretty much blow in my opinion. Campy is for road......Maybe.

btw, at the beginning of the year, I mused with putting together an all Italian mountain bike group (but something new, not 1992 technology).

The flatbar shifters are brake lever integrated, but assuming I broke off the lever, I could use Centaur long cage, Campy hubs spaced out, and Formula disc brakes.

The biggest gotcha was the crankset, and I could not find one Italian mtn triple.
