Light is right. I ran sram all last year including cyclocross...including MTB racing...including road racing. Mud...muck, rain, snow...not one missed shift. Sram Red and Rival in use. One bike still has 7800 because I think it's still better than 7900.
With that said, one of my teammates ended up with a faulty Force shifter. What did SRAM do? Sent him Red replacements in less than 2 weeks.
