  Sheldon Brown's Shimano Bicycle Parts Page
Shimano was not the first with a cassette hub, but they did pioneer the placement of the right-side axle bearing outboard of the freewheel mechanism, which virtually eliminated the problem of bent axles, and made possible reliable hubs with 8- and 9-sprocket clusters.
Shimano went back to the drawing board, and the next time they tried indexed shifting, in 1984, they started at the top of the line, with Dura-Ace S.I.S. Cyclists were initially dubious about this feature, but it worked so well that most resistance was overcome.
This is Shimano's trademark for "low-normal" rear derailers.

 Shimano Dura-Ace Compatibility
All Shimano rear derailers (except for pre-1997 Dura-Ace) index the same, and are equally compatible with different shifters that match the cassette to be used.
Shimano was concerned about the potential for the chain to "skate" over the teeth of the small chainring.
Unfortunately, the way Shimano chose to do this is rather wrong-headed and retrograde, resulting in a crankset that is even less versatile than their 130/74 "road" triples in the Ultegra, 105, Tiagra and Sora lines.

 Shimano Information
Shimano's marketplace domination that developed in the 1990s quickly led to the perception by some critics that Shimano had become a marketplace bully with monopolistic intentions.
This viewpoint was based on the fact that Shimano became oriented towards integrating all of their components with each other, with the result being that if any Shimano components were to be used, then the entire bike would need to be built from matching Shimano components.
Shimano seems to cycle between this "integrated system" approach and more open approaches as it tries to find a balance between the market's desire for innovation and the market's desire for openess and flexibility.

 About Shimano
Shimano rod designers are first and foremost excellent fishermen who understand what is required from a new rod design.
The Shimano rod design process has been developed over many years to ensure that when you pick up a new Shimano rod it not only feels correct, but will never let you down when you are fishing.
This is the market Shimano first entered, and it’s true to say that the demands placed upon Shimano bicycle gears by the likes of multiple Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong have led to new innovations and processes which have transferred quickly to Shimano fishing reels.

 Campy vs. Shimano
Shimano also introduced the dual control brake lever (shift and brake with the same control lever) to the public, which their marketing department called STI (Shimano Total Integration).
Shimano also incorporates an oversized spindle in their design, which allows them to decrease weight while still preserving strength relative to a “conventional” square tapered spindle.
Shimano is popular in the United States and U.S. aftermarket wheel companies tend to design their product to be Shimano compatible first, and if time permits, provide a work-around solution to gain Campagnolo compatibility.

Shimano: The American style could be good for the quick change but maybe taking less time of building up the consensus so understanding the level of the people is a little bit shallower.
Shimano: This was started back in 1994 when my late brother Keizo visited different Shimano overseas operations and one day he talked to me, he said you know when I visit the overseas Shimano operations and talk to the people and they are saying "your company" instead of saying "my company".
Shimano: It is that some area people thought it is a junk product through their experience and I don't blame them.

 shimano xtr 2007
To no one’s great surprise, Shimano was responding to the new SRAM love fest by designing a suite of new components that they hope will cement their position at the top.
I know the guys at Shimano will bang their heads into the wall when I mention this, but yes, this is something SRAM brought to the table last Spring with their new X.O. Personally, I don’t think it matters who brings the novel feature to market first.
Shimano’s Marketing Manager David Lawrence said, “By putting XTR to the test in professional competition, we are at once publicly displaying our engineers’ hard work on the new group, and furthering the research and development process.”

 Shimano Torsa Reel Preview
The Shimano Torsa is a dream come true in terms of flexibility for offshore anglers, this incredibly innovative new reel promises to deliver more speed, more power, more versatility, and improved castability, all with a greater level of refinement than ever before seen in a single premium offshore reel.
While the company currently has a number of reels that excel in a number of these areas there is nothing on the market that offers anglers all of these capabilities in one easy to use package.
The original Rapid Fire itself was designed with input from anglers on the water, and Shimano expects that as more offshore anglers start to use the Torsa and expand its boundaries they will come back to the company with ideas for more cams and more techniques.

Being the benchmark in the reel market is something Shimano are extremely proud of, but satisfying their customers high expectations and rigorous demands are the watchwords that inspire Shimano to even better and bolder reel designs.
Shimano Total Integration is a concept that has helped achieve this goal by taking the very best of the Shimano Synergy features and combining them in a range of rods which have been designed to take account of the final balance and feel of the rod in use when coupled with a Shimano reel.
