Which Groupset?

it could be the racers choice.

looks more like the regular cyclists choice

I love it when 12 year olds think they've discovered something new. 105 was "good enough to race, cheap enough to ride" 30 years ago when it had golden arrow logos.

^^they tend to be covered in a non pointy chain

That's not how I imagined you.

You imagine me?

erryday

is that a forrin hospital? (looking at the ?plug sockets behind your right ear)

Taylor is channeling Beaker there.

Rotor covers/guards? Do they exist?

The Polo crew use old frying pans etc no? Mainly because a dented rotor will slow you Down real fast. But it would be an easy fix. One quickly outlawed for aero benefits most likely.

I have fallen off more disc braked bikes than I can remember and never come in contact With the disc. On the road I've never need anything in addition to the hard tarmac. But rounding the edges of a brake disc wont effect braking. So they could do that no problem.

I can understand the fuss this ruling will cause in the industry. But for everyone else its a bit, meh.

The problem in road racing is not landing on your own bike, which as you suggest is unlikely, but landing on or being hit by other people's bikes.

Still seems unlikely. But I guess it'd eventually happen somewhere.

On a long enough timeline someone will be decapitated

You'd probably get the classic disc brake squeak / honk to the tune of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' before though, which makes it worth it.

UK RRP is £509 so this is probably going to be sub £300 once Merlin etc. get it.

hope pro 3 hubs, can you 11 speed them ?

Would also like to know this..

Officially no but there was something about using a file.

From singletrack forum, with an 11sp freehub and a big old cassette a conditional "yes".

Massive cassette and clearance? Bonus.

Now, what about my dt-swiss hubbed roval disco wheels?

Looking for the groupset of my new bike (Condor Acciaio). Coming from Ultegra 6700 I would like to try Campagnolo (I like the hood shape, even if I tried it for few minutes). I can stretch my budget and I was thinking if to go for Centaur or Athena (both in the carbon option). Any suggestions?

don't get campag - that is my suggestion.

Seriously, I love Campag, but they are so far behind Shimano now and the price of replacement parts is an effing joke.

^ instant rep innit

My last road bike was also my first real road bike (BMC), and I did not like the Ultegra 100% (feeling on the hood, brake lever shared with the gear shifting... and yes, the style)

I've heard that 6800 hood shape is much nicer than 6700; you can test ride to know

have you considered srammmmm?

6800 hoods are different.

Or Sram? I was a big fan of Campag hoods and I've moved over to Sram without any hand issues.

Dan have you got 6800 on any biek?
