had forgotten about that also a pita... on the plus side a reason to have more tools
I have has Shim 105 5600 previous, currently running Sram force on the crabon and Campag Veloce on the steel.
My ideal would be Shimano for front shifting and Sram for rear shifting. I love Sram for the rear derailleur, not so keen for the front derailleur.
the shifting of the campag is great but I prefer the more mechanical and physical feel of Sram shifting. The thumb buttons are an imperfect solution but not a major issue as I ride on the hoods most of the time. I don't think the thumb shifter is a reason to eliminate Campag personally. For me it really depends on affordability and whether you want to be able to maintain the drive chain yourself.
