Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Failed catastrophically, damaging both bikes.Bottom Line: I bought two of these rear dérailleurs for each of my road bikes in 1998. They both failed catastrophically in 2002. I divide my riding over four bikes, so these were really only about two seasons old at worst. One wrapped itself in the rear wheel spokes, ruining the wheel. The other locked up and bent the rear hanger so that the bike was no longer ridable. I've ridden Campy since 1973, and I've never had anything like this happen. And on TWO of them! Now I only ride Shimano.
Favorite Ride: Red Rock Canyon
Purchased At: Performance Bicycles
Similar Products Used: Campagnolo Record, Campagnolo Super Record, Shimano DA, Shimano Ultegra
Bike Setup: Now, Campagnolo hubs, brake calipers, and headset. Look pedals, Shimano Dura Ace shifters and rear dérailleur, Campagnolo Record front dérailleur.

Bike Setup: Several bikes all the road bikes now have Campy except for my wife's Kestrel which has DuraAce.

Strengths: Beautiful polished aluminum, Italian craftsmanship, perfect shifts every time, durability!Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Campy stuff looks better, lasts longer, and works better than any Shimano product.

Strengths: Crisp shifting, elegant lines.Weaknesses: Developed a hairline crack along the hanger. I didn't crash and can't remember ever bumping it, seems to have developed on its own.Bottom Line: The derailleur is a couple of years old and is starting to miss a shift or two. The crack is a bummer too. I'll keep riding until it breaks, but I expected more for the $$$$
The Shimano 600 Ultegra I had on my own bike lasted for years without a fault.
Similar Products Used: Shimano 600 Utlegra
Bike Setup: Campy Chorus.
