I have yet to ever curse the cycling gods while trying to shift any of my many bikes over many miles and many years.
It's fascinating, really.
I understand having preferences for one style over another, but the reasons given against Shimano just seem...confusing.
IMO Shimano mechanical brifters (DA, Ultegra, 105) are not that great, but don’t cause any real issues either. They get the job done in a floppy, clunky kind of way. Di2 at least removes the floppy, clunky part. But I do much prefer SRAM AXS with single paddles. It just feels more intuitive. I’ve never ridden Campag.
