Cotic Roadrat Alfine - front hub

So who use's what and more importantly why?

reason for asking is, well 1. out of interest and 2. is that im out to get a new groupset to replace a very old Ultegra and quite frankly im not keen on the new 'hydro formed terminator' look of new shimano stuff..but still cant decide between something like Sram Rival or Campag Centaur..

cheers.

Per title, I've taken delivery of my new spanky Ultegra wheels and I've had a helluva job getting tyres on. The rims are tubeless compatible (so says the sticker) although I'm trying to run normal clinchers.
I couldn't get Bontrager tyres on, I struggled with Conti Super sports, and I finally got a pair of Conti Grand prix's on after a complete mare and (shame oh shame) a couple of broken tyre levers. The obvious problem will be if I ever get a flat out on the road I'll be calling home for a lift.

Hi. a friend has offered me some xentis mark 1 rims for a few months(very good friend!), my question is can I swap the freehub (currently campag) to shimano? If so, how do I do it and where do I order the required parts (perhaps planet x...?)

Thanks, Jon

and what did we see? Among the many lovely items on display we glimpsed the future of cycling that's what and it's got drop bars, cross tyres… and a hub gear. It hasn't got a name yet but the Genesis [insert name here] will be coming to a bike shop near you in 2011.
