BUT at least it's a better design than all the other 'spindle thru with left crank arm bolted on' designs. |

There seems to be a shim for people with big hands: "Per le mani grandi è disponibile anche un supporto che permette maggiore appoggio" Or picture 4: "Presa migliore per le mani grandi: questa è la mano di Indurain!" Interesting to see that not only Super Record but also Chorus and Record will be 11 speed. I was hoping that the 2009 series would re-introduce a "silver" Record hub, but from all the black and dark gray parts I see on the pictures, my hope is fading. -- Regards |

Centaur and below will still be 10 speed, and the Veloce series doesn't have any carbon in it, if that is what bothering you. Regarding Shimano; from 2009 Shimano will start to ship Dura Ace shifters and derailleurs that are incompatible with "old" Shimano systems (new cable pull ratio like Sram's shifters). Ultegra and 105 will follow soon after. So in a near future only Sora/Tiagra derailleurs will work with 9 speed bar end shifters, and after a couple of years they too will be upgraded. So 9 speed Shimano is a dead end. -- Regards |

You could achieve the same thing with a 12-23 8 speed against a compact double. Smaller, stronger cassette, against a front derailleur, shifter, and chain ring... JG |

Funny I didn't bother reading the caption on that one. When I first saw it, I thought, gee look how small the levers are even for one of those Caisse d'Epargne twerps! Joseph |

Not so with a piece of rebar. Next... > Torsional strength-to-weight increases for a tube as the wall thickness decreases, up to the point when buckling happens at the same time as yield. Stiffness-to-weight in the elastic range continues to increase, but is useless if the required strength isn't there. The pop can's wall thickness is far too small for optimum strength-to-weight, while the rebar, with zero inner diameter, has far too thick a "wall". Dave Lehnen |
