Was lucky enough to go and for Sram, shimano and Campagnolo, nothing
really whizbang.

Campagnolo, aliuminum compact crank for Centaur, Veloce and Mirage, no
new news there BUT saw they now have 'linear pull brakes' for their
flat bar groups-'Vbrakes'..yikes, how far away can a Campag MTB group
be? Centaur carbon compact remains, at a lower price also-

They've done it before... if they did it again, that'd be neat. Carbon
brake levers and derailleurs... Link it up with SRAM XO shifters and you've
got yourself tricky stuff.

shimano-DA 10s triple, with the same unique to the crank small ring-no
smaller rings thanks, for DA. Compact crank in the none-group
designation, to make it applicable for all groups. No 'compact' front
der...shimano sprinkles fairy dust onto their front ders to make them
16t compatible. Still double and triple STI for 7800, 6600 and 105
10s, don't really get this as a triple shifter will shift a double...

Snob factor.

Sram-road stuff not in Milano. We called somebody at Sram and asked
about the road levers-A 2007 thing, as for how it works, think of a
ball point pen...click, click..now THAT clears it up!!!

[censored]... maybe coulda asked if you pull the lever above the pivot... or
maybe they're hinting at a 2-speed Bic grouppo 😉

I hear there's a new mirage group: electric shifting! Sorry, bad joke.

My understanding from another leak is that if you push the shift lever a
little bit, it shifts (up?), and if you push it further, it shifts
(down?).

I think usage will be the only test of that system. But competition is
good, so good luck to SRAM. Maybe they're on to something.

Agree, hope they work as well.
