Can't up shift with Campy, when you are in the drops. Can't differentiate between the the up and down Shimano shift levers, when you have to wear ski gloves. Can shift more gears, with one sweep, with Campy. Campy will sell you shifter parts and, the last time I tried, ShimaNO would't. Depending on the rider's ergonomic preference, Sram offers another choice now.splatt77 said:Just wondering what the general optnion is on these two groupsets. Are there any advantages of one over the other? I'm looking at getting either a Pinarello galileo or Argon18 Krypton and am undecided on groupsets. Feedback greatly appreciated.

I should have said, "from the bottom of the drops", otherwise you have to move your hand well forward from the end of the bars for your thumb to reach the shift button.John M said:This is NOT true. The thumb lever is accessible from the drops if the Ergos are properly mounted.
The rest of the comments I agree with.
this would apply equally to shimano then. if you can reach the brakes you can reach the gears, up or downlks said:I should have said, "from the bottom of the drops", otherwise you have to move your hand well forward from the end of the bars for your thumb to reach the shift button.
No, not equal unless you move your hand. When you are in the bottom of the drops, the end of you index finger is on the Shimano up shift lever and you don't have to move your hand to up shift. When your hand is in the "Same Position", the middle of your thumb is 1.5 inches away from the Campy up shift button and you must move/twist your hand to upshift. Inches apart, in a 30mph+ pace line in the bottom of the drops with your index fingers resting on the brake levers, up shifting Campy is a hell of lot different than Shimano. I might add that I switched from Shimano to Campy, so I am not picking on Campy.chris davis said:this would apply equally to shimano then. if you can reach the brakes you can reach the gears, up or down
