    Favorite Ride:
    trek 1.7 2008

    Bike Setup:

    Summary:
    pretty much the same as tiagra but works with 10 speed and is almost the same price. Problem with left shifter as it's meant for both compacts and triples the racket tends to die LBS says its a common prob, got a cash back under warranty and am upgrading to utraga STI's already have a utraga rear derailleur

    Strengths:
    cheap works with ten speed, is a nicer badge than tiagra

    left shifter

    Bike Setup:
    Specialized Roubaix

    Summary:
    AVOID !!!!

    Less than 200miles and the left hand shifter broke. My LBS has 4 other bikes there with the same problem waiting for parts.

    Now upgraded to Ultegra SL, durability is reported to be a lot better and instantly noticeable improvement in performance.

    Strengths:
    None when the shifters break !!!

    Weaknesses:
    Durability

    Price Paid:  $0.00

    Favorite Ride:
    Anything with hills

    Bike Setup:
    105 groupset throughout.
    Mavic Xsyrium wheelset

    Summary:
    I have a Shimano 105 groupset on my commuting bike. I do about 100-120 miles/week on this. Compared to my other bike with Campag, this product has been very unreliable, throws the chain a lot and is a pain to get back on the rings!! The Campag (chorus) has been used for over 2 years with no significant problems. The shifting mechanism for the rear derailleur is not reliable. When I change this I will definitely switch to the Campag equivalent (Veloce).

    Strengths:
    Lightweight
    Very Cheap comparared to competition
    Easy to get spares for

    Weaknesses:
    Shifter
    pain to put the chain back on the rings
    Doesn't last very long compared to campag
