Groupsets and 5 month off my 7800, and thoughts?
I broke out my Moto Immortal Spirit today for the first ride on it in about 5 months other than the trainer downstairs. My Wilier has shimano 6700 and it works fine no problems once dialed in, but today makes me think the Dura Ace 7800 is the smoothest stuff I know. The shifting is easier and the braking better ( I have 7800 brakes on it too). Nothing at all wrong with the 6700 stuff but makes me think two things.
The internal routing of the Wilier may be one difference and then my conclusion that I simply prefer external cables just much easier to deal with. The other thing is that if I upgrade to 6800 for the Wilier would I get the Dura Ace 7800 feel?
In the grand scheme it is all minor but I tell you the 7800 just shifts effortlessly. I might add I do keep both bikes tuned up as I am the only mechanic it knows. Going to the 6800 I lose the Wilier specific painted parts but if it was as smooth as the 7800 I would probably do it. What do you all think on the 41?
