Dont waste your money on this disgusting groupset! the one that i have doesnt even have sealed bearing in rear derailleur. It just shows that this "company" have no respect for people who buys their products. fuck you sram... shimano all the way
FYI, I'm a S30AL Sprint owner. For all those people that have experienced broken spokes on these wheels there is a design flaw. The 0.5mm nipple washers are too thin and they split causing loss of spoke tension. Simple fix is to replace with some thicker nipple washers (I used ones from Sapim). Happy riding!
I`ve used the Sram apex for several years on my Trek Ion CX 2012 model, 10 speed. Overall pretty happy with these and they will last you a long time. I replaced my derailleurs after around 3 years as they were getting "loose" I guess these are the economy type of equipment. I am sure there is even better quality out there if this is not for you.
I don't get how having a let's say 32 cassette as anything to do with being a ''novice'', if the hills you climb don't let you spin a 28, there is no shame in a 32 cassette or even a triple. Leave the ''experienced'' guys grind their standard cranks or 28 cassettes and call you a novice while you spin by.
Sora and Tiagra are nothing but junk! I got sram Apex on a Marin and was blown away. I now have a Felt with SRAM Apex and life just keps getting better.
Looks scary, this SRAM Red, but if I may politely suggest some improvements to this teaser. Show it on a bike, going a a 100 k's down a steep mountain road, full of patches of snow and potholes. Racing to escape an eurpting vulcano.
...and when your Cav you get SRAM to make your your own custom 10spd HydroR lever setup just because the rest of your team still runs 10spd and they are an 11spd shifter
Keeping the brake track on the Firecrest 303 you showed on the Roubaix with hydraulic disc brakes doesn't make any sense. If Zipp intends to sell the wheel as a disc ready option, the brake track should be removed and replaced with the ripples like everywhere else on the rim. Right?
Agh, but there's nothing like feeling the wires pull as you shift manually. Electronic shifters and brakes are cool to think about, but they're just not as natural (obviously.) SRAM Red beats Di2 any day.
