That 27 sprocket will come in handy on the new bike I just ordered but I didn't rush out and buy the 11 speed when it was first introduced because I had a fairly new Record 10 gruppo which has served me well for the last eight years and shifts as well or better than it did on day one. I am willing to pay a premium for that kind of quality as I tend to hold on to my bikes for longer than most people.Robbinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-38070645489356341762011-09-02T05:55:19.865-07:002011-09-02T05:55:19.865-07:00Ugh.

I love Campy, but might make the jump to SRAM next year because I'm growing tired of paying the Campy premium. $130+ more for a cassette over SRAM or Shimano is just ridiculous at this point.CBontheMVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556133670091747379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-1328931085947101372011-09-01T20:48:38.961-07:002011-09-01T20:48:38.961-07:00I have to agree...I'm happy with what I have a...I have to agree...I'm happy with what I have and see no need to add electronic shifting to a bicycle.
