random question - what's with sram and cross?
is there some advantage/preference for using sram in cyclocross?

Some say Rival presents the best weight/cost/performance ratio, plus some also say that the separate shift/brake levers aid in more secure brake feel/modulation (as compared to Shimano's action).

Also, the single lever for up/downshifting is easier to use if you have gloves on.

Once Lance and e-RITCHIE teamed up and made the leapmo, there was no stopping the SRAM train.

"Cheap" is 90% of virtue in cross. The advantage is in your wallet, not on the bike.

The 08 stuff's price : performance was unbelievable. It's still good, but it's not anywhere near as nice as it was. I suppose they did change a few things in it, but carbon levers weren't necessary and do add to the cost. |

Shimano levers tend to get a lot of sand and mud stuck in them when you crash in a sand pit. The shifting mechanisms of the Shimano levers are very much exposed to the elements, doubly so for the new ultegra and dura ace.
