Non omnino gravis
And take note, virtually every other tire manufacturer on the planet-- But I'm specifically looking at you, Pirelli and Michelin: every single tire is either tubeless across the line, or at the bare minimum has each width in a tubeless version. We're a good ways into the 21st century. None of us should have tubes anymore. Tubeless tires for passenger vehicles became the standard in 1955. How cyclists still have to use tubes is nothing short of a travesty.

Let's not go that far-- some of us like to have equipment that works every day, not just when it feels like it. To quote one of the techs at my LBS,
"I will only run Campy on my bikes. It's simply the best."
To which I said, "Would you have the same philosophy if you didn't work at a bike shop with constant access to tools and parts?"
"Not a chance in hell."

My only beef with Shmano is the durability of their newer BBR60 bottom brackets. I got maybe 5K miles out of the last two of them (and they were creaking and complaining after maybe 4K miles), on my third now. The older style larger cup diameter ones lasted much longer.

I'm actually "retiring" my BBR-60 to the wife's bike tomorrow, and replacing with an FSA MegaExo 6000-- which seems appropriate, as I've been running an FSA crankset for like 8 months now.
