To be honest there isn't anything that is complex to adjust to fix or

That was in fact true before software, rechargeable electric systems,
proprietary chips and wireless transmitters/receivers.

 
Heck, I think the line was crossed with STI. How many here have actually
fixed an STI lever, beyond shooting it with lubricant?

How many have ever needed to? I have NEVER had a had a failure of any Campy shifter/brake

levers and the only problem I ever had with Shimano is the return
spring in the lever failed and I simply hooked it up and the return
spring in the front derailleur acted just like a return spring without
me having to disassemble the lever so that it would return on its own
if off of the bike.

Krygowski you are truly a puzzle. Were it up to you we would still be using water

wheels to mill grain.only people with a death wish ride downtube
shifters and wide spaced 7 speed freewheeks without support for half
of the axle width.

I rode a down tube shifter bike in Bangkok traffic for quite a number
of years with no problems what so ever: see

The difference is that some are competent and some just think they are
competent :-0
