Isn't good twice as good as bad? Guess there isn't a standard unit of shifting quality. Or maybe a SunTour Cyclone should equal 10, in which case Simplex SLJ = 6 and Campy NR =3. Hey that's twice as good isn't it? And if the Simplex is coupled with Simplex retrofriction shifters versus Campy NR levers, the gap grows even bigger. But the Campys last forever and they do look cool.
