Message: SRAM vs shimano. I've used both. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages making a "this is better than that " comparison quite silly. The choice comes down to; Do you want to twist or trigger? SRAM's shifting quality is isolated to it's ESP stuff. Anythinglower than that is crap. Shimano's good stuff is also only limited to Deore and above, anything below that is crap. Campagnlo made OR components in the early 90's but got out of it because ther bigest market (america) felt that CAmpag on MTB's was not on. The shifters were excellent quality though. At the time Campagalsohad it's back to the wall developing it's Rd groups. Shimano had launced STi and Campag still had downtube shifters. So the MTB stuff was dropped. Will they get back into MTB. I doubt it. They make excellent Rd groupsets and I think they will focus on that for a long time.
