The SRAM Apex group I purchase finally arrived today. My plan is to replace the current Shimano 9-speed triple setup with the new components on my trusty Jamis Quest steel bike. Overall the quality appears very good. I like the solid feel on the metal shifters in my hand compared to Force and Red groups on my other two bikes.
My intention is to perform the installation myself short of the crankset, since I don’t the tools to switch the bottom bracket cups. I hope to have everything put together by this weekend. Once I’ve put a few miles on the new Apex, I’ll post my overall impression on the how it performs.
The leap is now complete. My entire road bike stable has switched over from Shimano to SRAM.
