Thanks

Thanks. Looking at dual pivots on eBay. All very confusing.
OOOOOOO
The list would differ with older group sets too -
there is 600EX, 600 Ultegra (Tri-colour) and possbily 600. I have tri-colour dual pivots on my Van Tuyl and they are excellent.
Generally DA will be the best.
Oh and there is also the DA AX and 600AX too - aero stuff from the early 80's but not dual pivot - parapull. If you want these, expect to pay a fortune for brake hoods - i am speaking from experience there!!! LOL

:facepalm: Do i have to get levers or will my old Galli ones suffice or is it like cantis and Vs?
Shimano had a number of groups over the years that either were short lived or were lower end but Richard has it mostly right other than he left Ultegra/600 out of the initial list. Additionally, like the MTB parts, there is a number assigned to each group and a letter code for each part in the group. For instance RD-6500 is a 9-speed Ultegra rear derailleur. The first number changes to reflect a jump in the group protocol: 5000 is 105; 6000 is Ultegra/600; 7000 is Dura-Ace. As the groups progressed through the years the second number changed to reflect the product's development: 6400, 8-speed Ultegra; 6500 9 speed Ultegra; 6600 10 speed Ultegra. There were exceptions but this will work as a guide line.
