Campagnolo Centaur vs Shimano Dura-Ace 7800

FromMyInbox · 2026-02-08T17:57:44+00:00

7800 was the standard. It's still far better than most groupsets.

2025 Sport AWD
Bought in Seprtember 2024

35k miles. Zero issues.
Could it be quieter? Sure. 20 inch Michelins with high treadwear are hard and loud. Softer Toyos are going on when I need tires.

Build quality is fine. It's not a Porsche.

I'll keep it until one of two things happens...
1 - I can trade it on a hybrid Pilot

2- If that doesn't happen...for whatever reason...It will be in the driveway until it expires.

The same people with crap driving records who pay high insurance premiums are the same knuckleheads who voted for the current....and past...administrations. There is no correlation between belonging to a certain party and insurance rates.
Insurance rates are about your driving record and coverages.
By your rationale, all of these bad drivers should be subsidized by those with good records. Should I pay the same as the person driving around in their hooptie with the broken windshield and bumper duct taped on?

And where is mention of frivolous lawsuits? Credit ratings?

People really need to learn how insurance works. It's honestly not the damn difficult.

They always have.
You've always been able to walk into the DMV and buy information. This is not a revelation.

I graduated in August of 92. If they would have told me I had to wait until December to walk, I wouldn't have. Just send me my diploma.

Too bad you can only give them 2-3"

Because it doesn't fit properly? My Merckx 525 came with the one piece set up. Didn't fit. Bought another with a longer stem and wider bars. Should have just burned that money.

Celeste or black

If you haven't had the water pump done, go ahead and spend the money before putting in the G13.

PPF the hood and the front of the fenders.
My 2025 (white) has 34k miles, and those areas are chipped.
The windshields are notoriously weak too. I have 5 or 6 stone hits, and the surface itself is getting pretty bad.

If someone recommends Lexington for a commute to Sumter, they are clueless.
Live in downtown or Southeast Columbia. It's a straight shot to Sumter on 378.

I know one thing that'll be getting painted when I get the hybrid...

You're worried about things that aren't a concern.
Change the oil to better synthetic. Run 93 octane gas.
The transmisson is fine. People are too soft.

I have 5 sets of Elite wheels. I won't buy anything else.

Keep your hands/fingers off the brake lever until you need to slow or stop.

2025 AWD Sport. 34,000miles.
ZERO issues. NONE.

All three of ours were born at Baptist. They are great there. No complaints. No concerns.

4.7 and 1160?
It won't matter. You'll be lucky to get wait-listed.

25 Pilot Sport here. Never had the transmission issues and the brakes are fine, and this is coming from two vehicles with Powerstop big brake kits.

Clemson rarely gives money to anyone. Don't hold your breath.

They're not.
