SRAM Force Double Tap Shifters
SRAM Force Double Tap Shifters
I just recently saw these in an advertisement and can't seem to find any information on them. I currently have a full Dura Ace double setup and would love to add these if compatible. Any comments or thoughts on these? Are they available for purchase yet? Cost? Thanks for your help!

I just found a website that had some good data on these. $540 for a pair! $1800 for the groupset!
https://www.competitivecyclist.com/za...RY.ID=36&MODE=
The pair only weighs 305g - which is 120g lighter than my Dura Ace pair!!

They're not compatible, so yours is a short lived love affair!?

That's about the expected date (sometime in fall) I've got on the rival group I ordered last week. $1800 is pretty crazy indeed, you ccould always get a job in a shop and save about $1k though

We got a flier from Quality and they said the first two shipments were all gone.
Its pretty pricy even at wholesale. I guess my dollars will go toward the DA group rather than the SRAM

...there a good review of the SRAM gruppo in 'Ride cycling review' (a mag printed by the cyclingnews folks), if you can source it anywhere, it's worth a read....no deatils on price or availability, but should be soon given that the marketing guru's are beginning to throw money at promoting it
