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

4Yep, 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.– Daniel R HicksCommented Sep 19, 2011 at 22:14

1This is why you should always buy parts from a reputable LBS whenever possible.– KibbeeCommented Sep 20, 2011 at 12:29

3Your friend is misinformed; the best bike parts are Campagnolo.– onestopCommented Sep 20, 2011 at 19:13

I'd shoot for the Shimaro/Shimanno parts over Campagnolo ;)– joelmdevCommented Jan 7, 2013 at 3:57

1Also 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.– joelmdevCommented Jan 7, 2013 at 4:08
