Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
Sonoma/Mendocino County coastal hills

Bike Setup:
Landshark carbon bike, Ksyrium ES wheels, Look KEO cromo pedals, FSA Wing handlebars, Michelin Pro 2 tires, Specialized Toupe saddle

Summary:
Broke my brand new 2008 SRAM Red front derailleur on a downshift. There's a weld on top of the cage is came apart. Don't know if SRAM fixed this design, but it is definitely inferior construction/design.

Shifting is also not as firm as Dura Ace. Stiffness is sacrificed with the lighter ti material on the Red. I'm going back to Dura Ace on my front derailleur.

Strengths:
Lightweight

Weaknesses:
Shifting action not as responsive as Dura Ace, and cage is prone to breaking

Similar Products Used:
Shimano Dura Ace and Ultegra 9 and 10 speed groupsets
