I quite enjoy pretending to be a tanswell once in a while, it's quite therapeutic!

Does anyone have any experience with Shimano, Campag and Sram groupsets? looking at getting a Canyon bike, and am tempted not to play it safe and go for a Shimano clad bike...

Got Sram on my mountain bike and it's fantastic, have always been sorely tempted to seek out Sram for a road bike.
Dunno about Campag but do believe that due to its history everyone should have Campag once in their lives!

All rather nice.
The Ultimate appears to have a 52/36 chainset which is an odd combo. The Endurance has 50/34 which is much more normal. I know you're coming from a triple anyway so will have to get used to the new gearing.

I've had SRAM 7's and 9's on my last 4 MTB's - absolutely no problems with them.
I don't have SRAM on my racer, but I have heard they are not great - especially the front one.

My mate Ade has Campag Veloce on his Wilier and he raves about it. |

thanks for your input chaps, i'll continue to mull this over. I think in reality it'll be pretty much the same, just the double tap system being a sod to get used to with Sram

All my road bikes have been/ are Shimano equipped. I have ridden Campag and tried to sort out SRAM.
I prefer Shimano as I am familiar with it and I like the slick feel to it.
Campag I would describe as 'agricultral' in that it is very positive and clunks into place. Campag lovers love it and would rather eat shit than ride Shimano. The workshop staff in the shop I work in don't dislike Campag but we sometimes struggle to get spares.
SRAM is shit in it's road guise. The bikes I have seen with the worst issues to sort out have tended to be SRAM clad. The double tap is something I dislike with a passion. The mechanics in the shop hate it also.
Others may disagree with my opinion which is personal.

I have no experience based opinion on SRAM/Campag other that the odd cassette or chain - SRAM chains a bloody good.
However, based on what others have said to me and what they have experienced the consensus seems to be in agreement with Fuzzy

looked at the canyon outlet today, Ultimate AL SLX Di2 Ultegra bike within my price bracket.
bought it as it ticked -
significantly lighter than T3
Aluminium is more robust than carbon
Ultegra Di2 is nice
Decent wheelset so no need to upgrade
come on DHL, deliver the fucker
