    Favorite Ride:
    Bloomfield Ave.

    Bike Setup:
    Trek Y-77. Ultegra Group. Spinergy wheelset.

    Summary:
    It came with the group and works just nicely. I tweaked around with it and the bike shifts accurately and the chain is ready to go the instance I shift.

    Awesome product, and an ease to install and 'tune.'

    Strengths:
    Clean, smooth, shifting action.

    Weaknesses:
    Took me a while to tweak the high/low tension

    Favorite Ride:
    Some where with friends

    Bike Setup:
    Stock Cannondale R1000

    Summary:
    Good value for flawless front shifting. On a side note, my front shifter has worked fine, but the rear Ultegra shifter has crapped out after 6k miles.

    Strengths:
    Shifts the chain from one ring to another. Good integration with the overall Ultegra 9sp system.

    Weaknesses:
    Not a nice looking as DuraAce or Campy Record, but a whole lot cheeper.
