Am I Forgetting Anything?
Goodbye Shimano, hello SRAM...
Force 07 Compact Crankset (50/34) and BB
Rival 09 Shifters
Force 09 Rear Derailleur
Rival 09 Front Derailleur
09 Force Casette (12-26)
Ultegra Chain
Other than that and the brakes (which I'm keeping), is there anything else I need to "make the leap"? I'm going from 9 to 10 speed so only the crankset would work with my current setup. I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to get everything and then have that moment of "Oh isht... I don't have a _____, do I..."
And if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Currently sitting at about $750 (goodbye summer job money!) any would not like to go much higher.

Welcome to summer camp with 4 yr olds haha.
I figure I can blow it all on a full Force group
Or... Hear me out...
Get a full Rival group and then spend the last $300 on a new wheelset...
Thoughts? Actual budget is around $1000.

Force is definitely smoother than Rival when it comes to shifting. Also there is no need to go with all that mish mash of parts when you can get a brand new complete group for that kind of coin.

Alright major update here...
650 for full group, Red and Force combo.
Only question here... Crankset is 170, and I'm 6' 1" with a 33.5" inseam. I spin pretty fast (thanks junior gearing!) but I'm still a little scared of dropping that far down.
Should I just go for it?

I'll take a stab in the dark and say E-Bay (GASP!)
Seriously, 650 for red and force sounds pretty good but 170s? I need help!
