Good review, what I was after and direct and to the point. Lots of content I haven’t seen elsewhere. Personally I would have liked to see a UDH or UDHR (road?) pushed out as an option. Get all the hangers the same.
@leedorney Ай бұрын
The reason imo the FD is black is because my original eTap FD has scratched up slightly and i reckon the dark colour will make that better oh i just love that lever shape already!...
@JWhat-qx8wr Ай бұрын
I can't believe the Bonus buttons don't get more love. I use these on my Shimano setups all the time when in the aero hoods position and it's awesome. Being able to shift with you hands draped over the hoods in so useful and anyone that uses the buttons to cycle through a computer is wasting them..

At the back end of the 10 speed Red production, SRAM introduced a revised version still on 10 speed replaced shortly by the almost identical Red 22, but on 11 speed. I was thinking at launch that this 12 speed Red might just be a place holder until they come up with the 13 speed one. And with the 1x13 gravel prototype spotting that is on the cards.
@rayF4rio Ай бұрын
I look forward to seeing your install of the new levers on you older Sram Red gravel bike. Specifically how the new levers work with older calipers, and if the new levers require a longer hydraulic hose fitment due to the longer reach. Or, if you get both new levers and calipers together, are new calipers needed to optimize the lever improvements.
@marksmithWLC Ай бұрын
No Otters where harmed in the making of the new chain 🤣

Yes one of the fuckups that slipped through. Spotted it 45mins before launch as I didn’t have anyone to check it prior.

Finally "Di2 buttons" on Sram! The ability to control my Wahoo from the Di2 buttons have long been the main reason why I haven't given SRAM any consideration so far.
@fabianmolyneux2308 Ай бұрын
Great review . I've been a long time devotee of Shimano, but have SRAM force on one bike for 5 years, Based on that SRAM experience my preference would be to opt for Shimano every day of the week. In my view Shimano has proved better on gear changing, especially under load and for its better braking. Now with the release of the new RED, it looks like these deficits have been addressed to the extent I will get this new groupset
@scottrettino1453 Ай бұрын
Any issues waxing the new chain with the hollow plates in addition to the hollow pins?
@gplama Ай бұрын
Unlikely to be a problem. I didn't switch the loaner bike over to waxed.
@mrteefoursix3440 Ай бұрын
I am a little bit disapointed with the group. Really thought that they would drop the weight a little bit more to get near Dura Ace. Happy that the brakes are still on Dot 5.1, so I can use my Hope calipers. Best thing on the group is the new lighter chain and the levers. The rest is boring. I will just buy the levers for my 2nd bike and will switch to Dura Ace for weight resons on my 1st bike.

Shifter design still looks slightly flat on the top. When tilting the hoods in this doesn’t meld ideally with the palm as the palm sits on a ridge. Manufacturers still aren’t designing shifters with a hood tilt in mind.
