This thread seems to have divided into two parts, but I want to respond to both.
I have broken two pairs of Ultegra STI shifters in crashes, fortunately not irreparably so. The first one went down hard on a dirt road and was so filled with dirt it would not work. I needed to flush nearly a whole bottle of wd 40 through them to clean them out. The second was an endo through an old style parallel sewer grate, which cracked both of the little plastic caps and Shimano charged an ungodly amount for replacements. I have crashed with BE and never had any problem, in fact it's hard to think what could break. Unrelated, I used Campy NR DT shifters and then the first version of Chorus DT 7 spd shifters and I never found them "vague". Both of those, mated to Campy derailleurs had a very definite overshift, which requires a very slight backing up with the shifter. Once mastered it was second nature. michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
