seeking shimano hierarchy list - Page 2

I thought of the reverse. Campy has that snap to its shifting.

Well, I'm probably not being completely fair in my comparison.

I have 8 speed Dura-ace on a Cannondale. And 9 speed Chorus on a Vitus aluminum (compromised by a 9 speed Dura-ace cassette).

If I compared first class "pure" Record 9 speed to first class Dura-ace 9 speed it might be a better comparison.

Regardless, I still prefer the Campy. Maybe it's the idea that I can mix and match different Campy components - I can repair them etc. Shimano not so much. And, I don't think I'm being a bike snob.

Are you aware that you replied to a 2+ year old thread. I didn't catch on until the ranking listed 9 speed Campy, and I think that all of their current groups are 10 speed.

Old thread? Yup.
Then again, I have old equipment (9 spd).
I have a strong personal bias towards some of the older stuff.
My sense is that chains and sprockets last longer with 9 speed road and 8 speed mountain. Nothing technical/scientific - just a feeling.
Guess I'm a retrogrouch.
