QUOTE(butthead @ Mar 25 2013, 10:22 AM) is it? i think it is a couple of MM shorter... coupled with the angles of the HT and ST... i believe the contact point between the handlebar and saddle will shorten more than the SL3 as you stack more spacers on the stem... watever your budget can afford... it's no wrong to do that, just make sure you don't regret... in fact, if i were you... i won't even consider SRAM Red... at most, i would go for Force and if i skimp on it... i would go for Rival with a set of Force cranks and maybe calipers as well... you balance your budget at the end of the day... few mm also makes a difference la. why stack more spacers? their HT already long. i'd go with force too. the DA9000 crank concept is very tempting. but the shifter hood is fugly.

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Mar 25 2013, 10:51 AM) On the Force and Red...am googling it now for the weight differences. Just wanna know msian pricing for both groupset. Quoted 5.6k for Red from GHS. No idea how much for Force. even if money is not an issue, i wouldn't choose Red for these reasons: - rd pulleys and bb need to be serviced very often; 100hrs riding time - shifter hood is big, slightly bigger than DA7900 i know someone who regrets getting the red due to the ceramic maintenance issue |

QUOTE(butthead @ Mar 25 2013, 11:11 AM) yeah la... but you also have to take into account the spacers you are stacking mar... the bike will come with some longer steerer which you might not cut to maximum low initially.. so the feel might differ on first impression... that few mm would not be very catastrophic la... can buy a longer 10mm longer stem to counter it anyways...further more on a size 52.. it is only shorter by 6mm if i am not wrong... euros to SL3 maybe i'll spend some time sketching the van nicholas, lynskey and SL3 using autocad. i suspect lynskey's dimension is closer to the SL3. will let u know. |

QUOTE(butthead @ Mar 25 2013, 11:40 AM) 2nd point manyak invalid... like that the Force also out ma... cos the shifter shape is more or less the same as old Red... new Red body is in fact slightly slimmer and longer... i like the old red or current force shape. better for smaller hands. i've tried the new red, huge shit QUOTE(butthead @ Mar 25 2013, 11:40 AM) the blackbox bearings are a hit and miss thing... i think your friend got the lemon ones...that or the shop did not apply the supplied grease when they installed... it comes with a ceramic bearing grease which needs to be squeeze on like how you squeeze massage gel on mila kunis's back before engaging in some sexy time...else, the thing will f@k up faster than you can say f@k this shit... actually he didn't read the manual, and he thought the maintenance of pulleys n bb are like any other types; which was maintenance free. he was wrong. even if u ride only 4 hours weekly, it'd only take 6 months before u need to dismantle and regrease them.
