Shifter performance
Shifter performance
This is more of an observation really. I was in a bike shop today and paused to look at an entry level road bike from a good brand. £400 bought an ALU frame, carbon forks, very acceptable kit - at least from appearance - and Shimano/Mavic 36 spoke wheels. The group set was 8 speed Shimano Claris which I think is near the bottom of the Shimano range. I couldn't resist a quick play (as you do) and was amazed that shifter performance felt as good or better than my 10 yr old Dura Ace 7900 series! Good progress I think! Or am I missing something?
Using a car to take an adult on a three mile journey is the same as using an atomic bomb to kill a canary.
