The contrast is pretty striking, but what is the practical impact on performance. I'm sure that someone could design a derailleur that didn't move at all, but also would be a bitch to shift. There's obviously a design trade-off there somewhere. Similarly, were these identical bikes, ridden at identical speeds, over the same line? I'm cynical enough to question such obvious differences without knowing the origin of the film. I love SRAM stuff, but I've also never had a problem with Shimano derailleurs. I haven't had to try the new Low-normal abomination, but otherwise I've been happy and don't seem to suffer any performance compared to my SRAM equiped brethren. YMMV Tom |

Was it raining as hard by you as it was up here? We've had just over 2.75" since this morning with no end in sight. Our club had our own demo day today. It was community group day at the local REI. I ran the booth for most of the day and we signed up a few people for our skills clinics and hopefull to turn out for our Poker Run. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

So, if the rider isn't pedalling and shifting, what difference does it make what your derailleur is doing while it's not actually shifting? I would think that there will be a difference if the chain is under tension and that the movement, or lack of movement, would be less of an issue. -- Westie |

All in all, not much fun. Worthwhile, but messy Tom |

(snip) I don't have any SRAM experience so I'm (just) theorizing that shifting will be so much crispier on an SRAM since the aim is not moving. I'll try SRAM for my next rear der just to find out for sure. -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM) |

Try Sram pulley wheels over Shimano. They last a
hell of a lot longer under the winter condictions on my commutes. Well with all that rain and wind. for over 24 hours the sand should be no more. I did post winter brake pads inserts yesterday afternoon. Delta in rear and Sram in front. Had kool Stop Green in rear and Thin lin front. The red Kool Stop fare much better. |

Remembern Sram is 1 to 1 so your need a Sram shifter to
go along with that Sram rear derailleur. |
