A friend told me the best bike parts are shimaro/shimanno? I saw both companies online! Which one is faking other ones name?!!

    Yep, it's an old, old trick to produce products under a name that looks like (and in some languages sounds like) the "real thing". Don't deal with anyone selling "Shimaro" or "Shimanno" parts, unless you fully understand that you're getting counterfeit parts. Sep 19, 2011 at 22:14

    This is why you should always buy parts from a reputable LBS whenever possible.

    Your friend is misinformed; the best bike parts are Campagnolo.

  • I'd shoot for the Shimaro/Shimanno parts over Campagnolo ;)

    Also worth noting that there are 3 mainstream manufacturers in high end bicycle drivetrain components - Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo. If you're looking at mountain bike drivetrain components, that leaves just Shimano and SRAM. Each company has its strengths and weaknesses so I suggest you try at least SRAM and Shimano out for yourself to see which one you prefer. They're similar but different and you may find that you have a preference for one of them.

The name of the company you're looking for is Shimano (with one n, not two)

    @Mohsen: Shimanno is also fake. One n!
