Which Groupset?

I once had a bike for a month and some days...

actually scratch that, just checked it was 27 days

if you took the time you spend arsing abut with bikes or changing stuff and put that into riding or training, you'd realise that none of this shit matters.

Besides; don't you have di2 10 speed on your other bike? Why run two systems?

^ Well, if it has to be that contorted to slowly work your way to Campag then it has to be.

People only ever move AWAY from Campag, not towards it!

Oh. Amey. When I spoke to you on facebook I thought you were getting rid of the whole bike. Why are you changing from 6700 to 6800? I don't understand that. That really is silly. You're still not riding fast enough to warrant all these swag parts.

:-) Joking of course, do what you will, but that does seem like a pointless upgrade...

Amey has to be trolling.

Threehundredandforty epic miles...

...new bike time.

Much stiffness, so compliant, wow.

100% better.

SRAM.

Do keep up.

ftfy

Well the cost for me to go current Rotor + 6700 + compact (i.e. swap rotor spider get rid of chainrings and get new chainrings) is same as getting compact 6800, thats the main reason but yeah I've heard its 110% better

Which is why you should have bought a compact in the 1st place.

You're welcome.

^ I know but I bought 6700 in bits and never got crankset, I went rotor and there was no compact option for the money I wanted to pay then. I thought I could live with it but clearly cant ;)

Yeah. I know. I knew before you did.

you learn something new everyday :P

So who wants to buy the groupset?

^^ Learn or buy?

ha! rep

Shimano Tech docs website has nothing on 6800 ..

Ah, not quite true. You got yours from Merlin didn't you? JE James were knocking out the compact versions for the same price. In fact, they still are.

That's where I got mine from. Didn't really make any difference to me, mind you, as I've replaced the spider with a P2M.

Yep saw that; there is one floating on ebay too (new) still selling everything and getting 6800 is cheaper mainly because 6800 is really cheap atm.

Rather than compact I'm going standard with a 12-30 block, makes more sense for my riding style and the terrain I ride... Not as aestheticly pleasing but doesn't bother me.

I thought going compact wasnt aesthetically pleasing ..

fuck you all, compact is awesome.
