Strengths: Smooth, crisp shifting with minimal effort.Weaknesses: Expensive, but worth it.Bottom Line: These shifters are outstanding. I have a Dura Ace 7700 group on my other bike and these are far superior shifters. I have told friends it is like moving from a manual typewriter to an IBM Selectric. The shifts are smooth, crisp, and require much less effort. Smooth as butter.

Strengths: Everything, just amazing. It's reliable and solid through and through. Looks slick too.Weaknesses: Nothing. Maybe if it was 100 grams lighter?Bottom Line: Excellent, excellent gruppo. It's bulletproof construction and rigidity is amazing. Smooth transitions in every gear and super quiet operation. I almost wonder if Shimano stuck with metal vs. carbon blend because of how rigid they can make these cranks. Also, it's a looker, almost seems like something out of a fine silver store.

Strengths: - multiple hand positions, more than campy
- longer reach
- The flight deck is a "substitute" for tri bars almost...
- Levers are smooth like butter, no kidding, much better than my campyWeaknesses: - don't like the cabling that comes out of the levers, unlike campy which is tucked underneath the handlebar tape
- no other weakness.. oh the rubber hood seems a little flimsy but only time will tellBottom Line: Recently switched my bike from Campy Chorus to Dura Ace 7800 group. One of the most outstanding features in my opinion are the ST-7800 Levers. Combined with the 7800 brakes they are very powerful with excellent modulation. I like them so much that I had to write this article, the rest of the Dura Ace group is A1 but the levers are worth writing about..

Strengths: Ergonomic design,shifting,throw and extra gearWeaknesses: PriceBottom Line: Just upgraded from 9 speed and I was thinking there can be a huge difference.
Boy was I wrong. First,it shits smoother than 9 speed. Second,it feels better on my hands(better ergonomic design).Brake/Shifter Lever feels closer to my hands when I have my hands on the drop compare to 1 speed. Third,it has a shorter throw than 9 speed(less wrist action). These shiters are awesome!!!
Best of all I'm always on the right gear since I have no gears missing (I use 12/21 cassette 12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-23-25-27-29-31-33-35-37).
