what's the supposed benefit of campy's "quick shift" stuff?
i like my regular campy shifting...what's the deal w/ the new quick- shift stuff? is it worth it, or should i try to track down the older stuff when building up my new bike? |

It shifts quick! ;-)
Do you need to shift one nanosecond faster than you are shifting now? Are you loosing tts and spirnts by the nanoseconds that it may have taken you to shift gears during events? If so, you certainly need Quick shift |

I got Mirage QS for my son's new bike because he is 8 and I was worried other systems would require too much actuation force. The QS is VERY light and easy to shift. I personally like how it only shifts one cog at a time (it does, right?) too. I have Dura Ace 7800 on my bike, but I never shift more than one cog at a time for some reason. If I want to shift more than one cog, I do multiple taps. So for me the QS would be "cleaner" in a way. Just bang and go. Joseph |

QS is just the new way the front-shifter works. Perhaps you are thinking of Campagnolo's new "Escape" shifter mechanism? 2008 Xenon, Mirage, Veloce and Centaur shifters uses "Escape" shifters, while Chorus and Record uses the old Ergopower shifter mechanism (the new 11 speed Super Record group probably does too). All the groups uses QS front shifters. "Escape" shifters only allow 1 up shift or 3 down shifts at a time, but allegedly requires less maintenance since it doesn't depends on g- springs like the Ergo-shifters that requires replacement after some time. Everyone says that "Escape" mechanism shifters works great, but some prefer the way Ergopower shifters work. If you are thinking of buying Chorus/Record there are no reason not to get a 2008 edition. -- Regards |
