Cross and CROSS post from groupset thread
R8000 on the Isen is doing my head in
Anyone else think R8000 is fucking awful/had multiple issues with it?
I am really disappointed with it, especially after putting 6800 on my winter bike and it being faultless through a Scottish winter with little maintenance
in a 1000 miles commuting/lanes in London R800 has delighted me with
Both calipers piston seals failing (common fault appaz)
Left hand Brifter failed completely
Rear disc warped, just because it fancied it.
BB give up (not gs specific but annoying)
It also feels very flappy, cheaply made and indirect on shifting (compared to 6800, not campag), swapping cables hasn't changed this either.
I will say though that the front mech is an improvement over the 6800 though.
Aaah that feels better
