I am hoping that this thread does not turn into a flame fest but the new cross bike that I am looking at buying comes with Campy 11spd Athena. Is there any disadvantage by going with this gruppo ? I know most of the bikes you see on the internet and that the pros use use either Shimano or SRAM but is it just a sponsorship issue ?
I use Campy for the road and have no issues with it. I can use all my existing wheelsets as spare cross wheelsets for the fall so that is a major plus for me.
Also, and don't flame me, cost is not a major concern at this point because SRAM RED or Ultegra are more expensive than this rig. I just want to make sure there is nothing intrinsically wrong with using 11-spd.
Thanks
