building my bike

[smilingcat]

resurrecting this since two people were asking about SRAM vs Dura-Ace.

Dura Ace front derailleur is better I think. SRAM lacks the "micro" adjustment and its been a bit of struggle to get it adjusted right. Drop the chain, hesitant in shifting, or chain rub.

SRAM feels like it needs more travel on in the shifter to get it shift up or down than on Ultegra or Dura Ace. I have small hands so its like I have to twist my wrist to shift. Getting used to it though.

smoothness of shift between Dura Ace and SRAM seems to be about the same.

One thing I do like on SRAM is the double-tap feature instead of brake+shifter or shifter only on Dura Ace/Ultegra. If it weren't for this feature, I think I would stay with Ultegra.

Maybe I'm still used to Ultegra...

oh here is a picture of TT bike I just finished putting together. I haven't adjusted the height of the seat yet. And its still missing the "plug" for the steer tube. This bike also has SRAM. keep it same as my road bike. Now I guess its time to put my money where my mouth is.
