I put the SRAM Apex onto my Cervelo after a few months of riding it. My other two bikes have super small gears and my knees just prefer spinning up our hills. So now I have an 11 - 32 in the rear and a 50-34 on the front. The last three downshifts on the rear are pretty big jumps and I will often cycle back and forth between gears in the rear as I start a climb.

For shifting in the front, I know that once I'm doing less than 10 miles per hour, I need to be in the little ring.

I had Force on the rear before I got the Apex and I have to say the Apex shifts just as nicely as the Force did. I did end up adding 1/4 pound to my race bike when I made the switch.
