See - here is what you do…you take your Campagnolo Cork Screw and a good bottle of wine…
After enough wine, and if she likes you - then you can see if you can master the unhooking of the Campagnolo Belt Buckle…
Yes I have one…Eat THAT Shimano fans 
Yep - going to have to wear it tonight…
Shimano is too busy winning races…
On an Italian frame no less.
So you want some dude to get drunk and see if he can unhook your belt buckle? Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just sayin…did you mean to post this in that OTHER window you have open? 
But YOUR not right? So, what is more fun? Riding your bike - or…
(If I am not mistaken Campy had more stage wins this year - besides, Shimano purchased the peloton, no secret there).
What will be neat is to see if the split is altered next year when Shimano finally catches up to 11sp. Once there is one wheel on the Mavic cars I think that things may even out. For the time being Mavic (on Shimano’s dime) had only 10 speed wheels on neutral support. That it self was enough to keep me from going to 11 - knowing that I could not grab any wheel at any event in a pinch.
Umm…
and umm…
Oh, yeah and what about
*For the time being Mavic (on Shimano’s dime) had only 10 speed wheels on neutral support. **That it self was enough to keep me from going to 11 - knowing that I could not grab any wheel at any event in a pinch. ***
Well that and the fact that you aren’t ever going to sniff a race where Mavic nuetral support works.
Sniffed quite a few - installed a wheel or ten (dozen) too.
That does not take away from the fact that I could use YOUR wheel, HIS wheel, HER wheel or any other wheel at any event anywhere - this is not rocket science man.
Good call on the fishing reels - Shimano is the only reel I will use - I dont fly fish so no sense in getting a Litespeed reel.
If you are going to say “good bottle of wine” then show a good bottle of wine. Not some pedestrian Washington wine from a huge manufacturer. I now really question everything you say due to the mediocre bottle you displayed.
Now if you came in with something like this…
…I might actually believe something you wrote.
Your argument does not hold water, Monseur Trois.
While I happen to like Campy a little better, there’s no arguing that Shimano invented the single speed freewheel 12 years before Tulio started his company with the forerunner to the modern quick release.
Sarcastic fallacy on my part?
.
What is going on with that chain?
Dunno it’s grabbed randomly from a DCR review, does look like it’s sitting super high on the teeth though, almost like it’s in the middle of a shift.
In all honestly I wanted to post the forever alone meme with a SRAM logo on it but am too lazy. I wish they’d give some indication that they are going to put out an electronic group while they still have a shot at being relevant going forward.
Where did you get the Campy belt buckle?
They posted some job ads in Chicago for electrical engineers several months ago. That could be the indication you’re looking for…or they just could’ve been for manufacturing and assembly engineering, I suppose…or for modeling software improvements…last one might be a stretch…
or me being thick.
Yep, those who want the best of all worlds use SRAM. Had Campy on my bikes until I tried SRAM.

+1 on the ‘good bottle of wine’.
- Piss poor wine choice.
- Better than average wine bottle opener…from the 70s.
- I’ll see your belt buckle & raise you any rodeo belt buckle…seriously, turn down the douche meter.
- I’ve ridden DA since early 80s. I had one of the first SIS systems in the US. I love DA, and aside from a 2-3 affair with RED while I was waiting for the bugs to be worked out of di2, I can’t see myself riding anything else.
BUT…Campy’s levers & “feel” on their electric system is simply superior. Literally the nicest tactile feel I’ve ever experienced. Now if they would shave 1lb off their system I would actually consider riding it.
Right now DA rules the roost in electric shifting, with Cannondale/Lightening the kings of cranks, and EE the best brakes; b/c of compatibility issues or performance/weight issues Campy is a distant 2nd or 3rd in every category…I really, really wish that Campy would simply adopt the same spacing on their cassettes as Shimano/SRAM—I would ride their electric system—the levers are that good.
