I haven't read any Sram vs. Shimano posts on here lately from those who posted such in the first half of this thread.
I guess Pcad's method of madness works - overwhelm your opposition with massive, endless postings. Shlock and aw. As in, "Aw damn, I can't compete with this crap."

I'll always have a soft spot for Campy because it was my first gruppo and liked the thumb shifter as well as the shifter ergonomics. Comparatively speaking I prefer SRAM because there's a crispness to it I like, not to mention the double tap system which has been easy to use and eliminates the need for a thumb shifter.

I've tried quite a few bottle cages, and the rib cage is by far my favorite. Having said that, I've heard many people don't like them. People seem react one way or the other to them.

Carbon cages are the biggest waste of $$ in all of cycling.

As I pedaled down the road last summer and my new chain fell off 4 miles from my house, it immediately occurred to me that the shop which had installed it, Joe Fix-Its in Goshen, NY, had to have the most ironic name in all of Velo Retail.
