Shimano components seem more refined to me, but Sram stuff gets the job done, is lighter, and I prefer the current Sram shifter ergonomics over current Shimano shifter ergonomics.
Edit: Should mention my Sram components are exact same combo as OP.
My next bike will be either full Red or 7900 (current bike is 7800).
I'm hoping to "like" Red because of the significant weight savings. I also appreciate SRAM's features.
I gotta ride my bud's Red/Force/Rival built bike again, but this time, I'll try to "notice" the differences.
Question for the SRAM guys...
Crankset:
Red VS Force?
