Strengths:    durable. comfortable. ergonomic. simple internally.
one rear shifter broke, but I sold the bike and can't tell about customer service


Weaknesses:    one broke. I'm thinking of getting the metal cable housing because I hear it works best - sometimes the effort is a bit much and sometimes it, or I, will slip and over/under shift.


Bottom Line:   
over the last 3 or so years, at least, I've owned the first generation of rival, another bike with it, and Force on another 3 bikes. they're all pretty much the same other than a bit of ease with the front shifter. Save your money and get rival. funny how the reviews for Red are so high but they're almost the same thing. Force or Red is lighter which is great for the all-important lifting of bikes with pinkys "wow that's so light!" But then I did buy the Force a couple times...the paint and carbon cranks sucked me in.

Strengths:    Looks, feel and weight. The double tap is an asset also.

Weaknesses:    loud clicking from shifters. It should be a 'feel only' effort.

Bottom Line:   
The force shifters and a dura ace rear derailleur with dura ace cassette. With all the fiddling around I cannot get my bike to shift to high gear (smallest cog). Front derailleur works fine.
