Yeah... and...? er help me out. Aren't these guys trying just a little a bit too hard to create some kind of pseudo-cool-cycling-genre?

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]Ha ha, er no. It is even more over priced than the stuff you insist on sticking on your bike.

I have tried it on a short test and have to say I was very impressed. It wasn't as confusing as some have said, was quite intuitive and worked well with slick changes.

A rider was testing the stuff for Sigma Sport last week and hated it - so I guess it's horses for courses.

I think the red is significantly better than the force though.

THere was a guy on LCS selling new Red gruppos for "decent" prices - £850 or so I think, that's gotta be less than Record

Trouble is that in most cases, you'll need a new wheelset

[quote]It is important to note that SRAM 10 speed cassettes will only fit on Shimano-compatible 9 speed hubs. They will not work on 10-speed-only hubs such as the new Dura Ace hubs or wheels. If you are using a 10-speed-only rear hub then you will need to use a Shimano 10 Speed cassette.

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]With RED i just dont get the one piece cassettes. I mean, I see the savings in weight and the other technical stuff. However, if you want to change it then you have to change the whole cassette. There is no room for customising the range of cogs.

The concern I'd read that people had was that it would eat though hub bodies, but apparantly that hasn't been happening.
