repairs of Shimano stuff is often from inventory.
so on a long tour there is that ..
[our workaround, is a partnership with another Bike shop down the coast ,
and the Campag parts are ordered & shipped during the days it takes to get to the other Shop]
I took note of the differing experiences when it was said before. Ultimately, I just need some new shifters and one way or the other I'll have that.
I've read a lot on the pro's and con's of either STI or Ergo. So, I know atleast some of what I'm getting into. I thought for a long time I'd never do brifters because of their weaknesses vs other types of shifters. But, millions have jumped in the water and seem to be having a pretty good time. So, what the fork, eh?
