Christie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Found this on velonews: Garmin-Cervelo switching back to Shimano after 1 season on SRAM, and will be racing with Di2. Interesting thing is that they will not be sponsored by Shimano, but will be buying the gruppos.Did the riders perhaps not like SRAM, or could it be something else?

gummibear Posted November 19, 2011 Share could it be something else? Must be the electronic shifting.Once you use it you will never look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koukie Posted November 19, 2011 Share I had a full XTR groupset on a bike I recently sold, I now have SRAM X9 and the shifting feels way better on the SRAM. Maybe its because its new, on the other hand the XTR groupo was only 6months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baie-sukkel Posted November 19, 2011 Share personal preference.Nothing more to it than that. Very true !! I have a friend that went from Shimano to Scram..........just to go back to Shimano..........why? Because he PREFERES it,that's why ? BTW , I ride campy, recon the less gracious shifting groupset of the lot,but it works .......... well for me anyhow !

Christie Posted November 19, 2011 Share personal preference.Nothing more to it than that.But it is interesting if a whole pro team's preference is to pay for Shimano rather than ride sponsored SRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neg Posted November 19, 2011 Share i prefer Sram... i went through 3 XT derailures in 6months (just could not keep the settings and they would slip, miss gears and two snaped) and then went to Sram X9 derailure and XO grip shift... after 14months they still change as smooth as the day i got them.... and my riding is just as rough!

kosmonooit Posted November 20, 2011 Share The 1:1 shifting ratios of SRAM is a better idea than Shimano's 1:1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted November 20, 2011 Share the clip is 4 years old. It would be interesting to see how the new XTR compares to XX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted November 20, 2011 Share The real reason is that Sram Red is just too light. They've gone and built a 600g frame and now they need to shove lead ballast down the seat tube to bring the bike up to 6.8kg's. Seriously, who needs lead ballast when you can run DI2.

MTB_Roadie Posted November 20, 2011 Share I am also changing over from the new Shimano 105 to SRAM Force...reason is weight, also the way you can shift down a few gears at once.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted November 20, 2011 Share Yes Shimano is better, ask Andy Schleck, Sram cost him the Tour de France last year! Are we talking Road or MTB? Road - Shimano Mtb - possibly Sram but not convinced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
