With only a single year under its belt in the road componentry market, SRAM announced that it will be the official component supplier of a ProTour team for 2007. The Saunier Duval Prodir squad will use the complete SRAM Force group on its bikes throughout next season's campaign, including full drivetrains, brakes, and the innovative DoubleTap integrated levers.

According to SRAM's Road PR and Media Manager Michael Zellman, "Both sides were enthusiastic and it really came together in a matter of weeks. We plan on working closely with the team through the season and we'll look for great feedback as we continue our advanced road componentry developments. With superstars like Millar and Simoni, this is the next level for us and we are excited and look forward to being in the classics as well as the grand tours."

SRAM's Force groups will be hung on the team's new superlight Scott Addict carbon framesets, along with Mavic wheels, Hutchinson tires, Ritchey seatposts, bars, and stems, Time pedals, fi'zi:k saddles, Elite bottle cages, and Topeak accessories.

Cool. If I wasn't a Campy nut, I'd try SRAM... Good luck to them.

Rode with a good friend the weekend with a Cannondale SystemSix with the new Sram on.......

The operation seems smooth and very easy.  Thought it would be harder.  The groupo is surely something.....

So, here is the question, do I go SRAM, or do I go Dura Ace???

 

Any comments welcome!!

Spidey, after all the raving about SRAM road components on the Hub, I think that is the first comment from someone who has actually used them!

[TNT1]

No doubt, between Shimano or Sram, Sram!

The general trend on the Hub seems to be against Shimano.Well i am super happy with my Dura Ace kit. No missed gears, squeaks, rattles, moans or groans. Just great stuff!

[Skinny]

Are you guys pro SRAM or anti Shimano?

[TheLegend]

Shimao if you are for the techniques, Campa for the looks and Sram for yet undetected problems;-)

[Wonder Woman]

SRAM is the lightest, Hmmmmm, they better have some good guarantees??

Shimano for the undicerning masses

Still to early to tell. I would be hesitant to ride something thats only been around for a short time.
