It's like the Ultegra vs Durace but SRAM Red vs Rival
I don't know how different it would feel on a TT rig, since my TT bike is set up with Ultegra, the whole gruppo having been tranferred across from its original body, a Trek 1500. I would be tempted if ever replacing the gruppo or the whole thing, to move to SRAM.
I appreciate that this is an upgrade over Ultegra and really I should be comparing it with Dura Ace but I love it.
If I had the cash I'd upgrade my training bike to SRAm. Unfortunately I don't. Having said that, I still like the Shimano, it's just not quite a crisp.
