The other thing is that SRAM road shifters take a 1.1mm cable - not the 1.2mm that is spec'ed with shimano cable kits.
nope this is my first foray into sram, i used the cables that came with the shifters, so that should be alright. i have a zero loss from w/2009 force*
uh... yeah shifting down is fine, albeit loud as hell, maybe it's something to get used to, i do like how mechanically crisp it is.
