This sounds like a disadvantage but the type that allows multiple shifts sometimes can accidentally drop more than one if you hit a bump while shifting the paddle.
The fancier shifters are partially rebuild able as long as parts are available. However the rebuild kit costs nearly what the lesser shifters cost.
Both are great imo. They both have the ability to feather adjust on the shift to larger cogs which allows some small amount of persuasion when needed
ugh. Responded to a question from earlier in the thread... water under the bridge now. Nice looking ride!
Coming from Shimano Ultegra the single down shift is not an issue as I don't know anything else. IMHO, the Potenza and Ultegra are very similar in performance. The one difference I'm still getting used to is the front shifting. On Campy, you need to swing the shift paddle what seems like a substantial distance further than Shimano and really make sure you max it out to the point where lever doesn't go any further. Otherwise, the chain will drop back down to the small chain ring when you release the paddle. Not sure if this is an adjustment I need to make or just the way Campy is designed. Anybody else experienced this?
