Which Groupset?

I own bikes with Campag, Shimano and SRAM fitted.

Holy wars over groupsets are for the road bike equivalent of nodders.

You want Shimano for that.

Looks like a Campag user. Take two Shimano and called me in the morning.

Nodding is more effective with Shimano.

God, even I'm bored of this.

damn, 105 is ugly

Including their disc brakes!

105 is great.

Which reminds me. Anyone want some 105 cranks? Bought Feb last year, replaced due to power meter upgrade. Also have some DA cranks. Oh and some S-Works cranks. And some FSA track cranks and... shit... maybe I should just have a garage sale.

When the Maguras die I will do that. Until that day though, they're fine.

And I now know how to service them. I so SMRT, SMRT

@hippy - Prices pls!

Erm, I think you might be forgetting my DA Di2-equipped race bike, bitch.

Serious question (can't believe I'm using this stupid thread for a serious question)...

Other than being black, why would I buy the £250 DA hubs over the £95 Ultegra hubs? In all my life I've never noticed hubs make a single jot of difference to my cycling.

I like everything about Ultegra hubs except the weight. They are fat bastards.

To build something as reliable as a Ultegra hub but lighter is pricey. Hence the DA price. You could save the few 100g cheaper by eating less pie. But then you'd be eating less pie.

Try Chris King. You are after all @hippy

Weight is a non-issue. Well, bike weight is a non-issue, my weight is a whole meme...

It's just my commuter, winter training bike, possible PBP audax-type bike. I just like the whole black wheel thing. I could go to 105 which are black but prefer Ultegra given the hubs are stuck in the wheels and not easily disposable like the rest of my components.

Nah, not into that boutique stuff. They're even more expensive than the DA I was trying and failing to justify.

Then why bother? Just get 105 ..

Because the price difference from 105 to Ultegra is small enough that I don't care and having an Ultegra wheelset is a little nice than a 105 one. That's about it. It was the jump from Ult to DA I was looking for a justification for and that doesn't seem to be materialising so I think Ultegra it shall be.

Get Hope they will keep you awake at PBP when freewheeling.

Who are you calling a count?

Ha!
