Craig8252 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Hi all Deciding between a groupset for my new build. Either: 1. Sram rival (with sram red crankset) 2. Full ultegra The rival build is lighter by about 200grams with the red crankset. Trying to decide... Any thoughts from my fellow hubbers... Cheers
Mongoose! Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Ultegra. Stunning groupset.Nothing to think about.
Butterbean Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Running ultegra myself. The most unbelievable thing is the front shifting. It's incredible. I would go ultegra. No doubt.
Starvin' Marvin Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 SRAM makes shimano look stupid with the crispness and speed of shifts. Will never go back.
Malpiet Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Ultegra all the way, the most value for money groupset on the market.
Malpiet Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 SRAM makes shimano look stupid with the crispness and speed of shifts. Will never going back.SRAM will never as smooth as shimano, while they have a very light cluster its flawed in design and amplifies the slightest noise. i rode all 3 brands for a decent time should I ever change from campag it will be shimano. If iam building a weight weenie bike it will def be SRAM RED, for comfort shimano and racing campag.
semisub Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 SRAM Rival! I have both SRAM Rival and Red on different bikes and they are booth smooth and reliable.
Winstonian1984 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Went from shimano to SRAM and I didnt want to go back....EVER
Mongoose! Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Will not get better value for money than Ultegra 6800. Never. Awesome groupset!!!
shawnvan Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Flip a coin... Nothing wrong with either. If you already have the Red crank then I say stick with SRAM. I have a Rival RD on one of my bikes (as well as Red / Force) and can honestly not tell the difference in shifting to the more expensive groupsets.
Craig8252 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks guys And what about these two compared to campag chorus? Is the price difference worth it on the campag chorus?
Cippo Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks guys And what about these two compared to campag chorus? Is the price difference worth it on the campag chorus?Hell yeah! I rode Chorus for a while and went shamefully for awhile to Shimano on a substitute bike following a crash. There is something magical about Campag's performance imo. I'm busy switching back to Campag with a Record groupset. Shimano is for mountain biking. Pm me if you want an estimate on Chorus grouspet from an online supplier.

Thomo Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 They are all equally good and compete equally well against each other.It comes down to persopnal preference particularly with regards the shift action, and price you willing to pay.There was a comment regarding SRAM noise (this may have been sorted on more recent models), otherwise many overcome this using Shimano chains/cassettes.
