Tjommie Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Hey Tjommies2, How you doing buddy. Are you riding this weekend? Took your advice and went for the 11-25 (Thanks). You just upgraded to the Dura Ace though, that must be damn fine.... I honestly dont see myself going back to Shimano though, not now. Maybe if I have a massive "mis-shift" up Vissershok in the 99'er I might change my mind..... I'm cool man, been off the bike this week due to a stomach bug. Either some crappy food i ate at newlands or the fact that SA choked again Not doing the race this weekend, probably a 90-100km with some buddies Hope ur training going well
Tjommie Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I just did an upgrade from DA7800 to the DA7900 The 7900 feels softer than the 7800 but the 7800 was also very precise and very "soft" I love the Shimano feel and dont think I will move. Have heard mixed reviews from some people that have gone the Sram route, I guess it comes down to personal preferance. Must say that SRAM is definitely bank for you buck, and it weighs in lighter as well. Spat so now you gona win your group on Sun
'Dale Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Spat so now you gona win your group on Sun No pressure, Spat. None whatsoever! It's time to take that Bianchi to the top step of the podium in your bunch...

bikemonster Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 campy is noisy - I know. A certain hubber (bikemonster) has a campy groupo and he even jokes that he can never sneak up on you and suck wheel because the gear changing is so noisy. Yes, but noisy in a lovely, solid, rifle-bolt snicking home* sort of way. I love my Campagnolo to bits. It helps my don't-be-average approach that it's a slightly unusual choice. * Not that I have ever fired a rifle in my life.

Clinton - theCOW Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I just did an upgrade from DA7800 to the DA7900The 7900 feels softer than the 7800 but the 7800 was also very precise and very "soft"I love the Shimano feel and dont think I will move. Have heard mixed reviews from some people that have gone the Sram route, I guess it comes down to personal preferance.Must say that SRAM is definitely bank for you buck, and it weighs in lighter as well. I love my DA 9sp, rode it for years, pity the left lever is going and at R1500 to "fix" really not worth it. Rode the DA 7800, them moved to Force 2010. Very different feel from the DA hoods but I've grown to love the SRAM hoods and shape, the braking on both the DA and Force are equally as good. The ability to pull the shift lever towards you is a novelty but a bonus when riding in the drops. SRAM Force 2010The right lever is crisp, precise and the double tap isn't that hard to get use to (i have mis-shifted tho climbing). The left lever i think is heavier on the upshift, you can only trim the big blade and the drop to the small chainring only happens when you release the lever, so a little getting use to. I've also had it chain suck a couple times on the down shift.....so i know how Andy feels Shimano DA 7800Has a softer feel in general, Right lever is just as easy to flick up and down. Left lever in terms of ease of throw i think makes it better. So my overall view would be if SRAM could make the FD throw lighter, it would make Force Groupset UNBELIEVABLE value for $$$! :thumbup: Now you just need to join all the Specialized boys
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Now you just need to join all the Specialized boys That could very easily be my next upgrade
'Dale Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 That could very easily be my next upgrade Slooooow down - you going down a very slippery slope called "cycling-drunk irrational spending syndrome" (CDISS).It attacks you before you know it.Many riders here will confess of this syndrome.
