    Group set advice for cyclocross bike

    Haven't tried SRAM. Tried Shimano 105 - didn't like it, too difficult to shift several cogs up/down fars - using glowes. Mounted some old Campy (8 year old Chorus), realy easy to shift - and works when covered with tons of mud. If I should buy new stuff it would probaly be Athena or 10sp...
