Have DA at the moment as it came on the bike and it works well but I much prefer campag (used it when I was riding professionally). On the mtb I have xt as it also came on the bike and it works well but am very keen to try out sram XO

Really though I think it's six of one and half a dozen of the other between SRAM/Shimano with IMO a slight advantage to SRAM - this is for MTB, don't have any experience riding road.
not really , grab a power meter and have a look at your own ... you maybe suprised .Quote:

I have a Giant CRX one flat bar road bike and I ride a combined 32km to and from work every weekday. I have a tiagra crank set and chain. Shimano wheels are thrown on most bikes to keep the cost down but they are rubbish so I ditched those for some Mavic Aksiums.
Also I had a Sram rear cluster but the 12 tooth **** it's self and just broke right off so i'd be careful if you chose the same cluster.
Jeez Ive only just discovered this 'pedal powered' forum on aulro, I never knew there where so many mountain bikers on here. Downhillers even.
I spose it makes sense, Landrovers are the downhill bikes of cars :D
I run Sram on my DH bike and 4X bike, Shimano on my XC bike, with Sram rocket shifters.
I like Sram for the 1:1 cable ratio over Shimano's 2:1, I like Sram mechs more, and Avid brakes. But Shimano Saint cranks are the go.
I ordered up new stuff for my race bike yesterday,
changing the XT shifters for SRAM XO grip shifters
XT rear mech for SRAM X9
I picked up a new SRAM X-gen front mech for $40 a while back
already run sram cluster and chain so new ones of those
new crank rings
and then a few things like new tires (hutchineson pythons)
mavic tubeless wheel valves
I am going up from a 44t chain ring to a 46 chain ring, for that bit of extra on the finishing straight :D
bit of an overhaul happening. This will be going on to my Orbea Zenit cross county racer (maybe I kid myself that I am aracer but usually faster than the others I ride with - even those on road bikes)

A mix of Dura Ace and Ultegra on the roadie, XT groupset on the MTB :p
The roadie has a mix of DT Swiss hubs/spokes/Mavic rims, Thomson seat post, Hope stem and Tru Vativ (SRAM) bars all on a Hand made in the USA frame.
King hubs/Mavic rims/Sapim spokes, Easton bars and seat post, Extralite stem and Marzocchi fork rolling on an efficient XC Taiwanese frame.
A nice, eclectic mix for a Land Rover/Nissan Patrol household. :D
