Dura Ace vs Sram Force?

[Moose]

I'm looking for a new groupset, wondering which is worth going for. Some one who has either of the two, what are some advantages and some disadvantages? and which is better overall?

[Scalpel]

Should you not be comparing Dura Ace with SRAM Red?

[Moose]

Ja I should, but Sram Red is way too pricey and dura-ace(the old one) is sort of the same price range and the same quality

Nah, Red and Campag Record are in a league of their own... Dura ace is a peg lower down...

 

[Spinnekop]

Must be Red.

In that case, Go for Sram Red.
Not too shabby.....

But if you REALLY want the cherries..............

[Kal-El]

yeah go SRAM red

 

shimano sux!

I'll also say that Red and Record is above DA. Why not look at the new Rival. They say it's Red performance at a waaaaay better price.

Ja  Sram red is a Bit pricey hey, is force good enough? Better than the old Dura-ace?

[FanieFiets]

My Sram rival is nicer than the Dura Ace. I switch couple of weeks ago, LOVE the Sram.

nothing is "better" then anything else. If it does the job, it's good enough (damn, listening too much to JB). How "good" something is depends on how big your head and you credit card limit is.

Eish para.

 

They are talking about Sram being CHEAPER AND BETTER......

Nothing then to do with CC or big head.

dude take it from me... Sram - very nice to have, the shifting is amazing , but the big disadvantage is that it needs a lot of attention all the time, so regular service is required

on the other hand , Shimano DA is more rough but still very good  (lots of pros also use them) and Shimano is like a AK47 it will always work with or without the monthly service!!

 

Sram is still new to road cycling where as Shimano and Campy is still going strong.

 

If you like "style" and want ot be brandname "bef&k" then go with the expensive Campy or Sram.

 

Shimano is still the best value for money I would say and the new DA looks really good

 

Up 2 u mate..

[Sammajoor]

 

yeah go SRAM red

 

shimano sux!

 

 

That is the first truth you have posted welcome to the hub

Mampara Wat do you mean that nothing is better than anything else. Than why dont we see pros using sora or even 105. They use DURA ACE because its better.

 

Dura ace and force are on par why dont you take DA and Force for a test ride and deside which one you perfer and suit your need better. Dont worry about your head its not going to get bigger
