On eof my riding partners friend recently bought a Pinarello FP Quattro with SRAM Force. His reason for going SRAM was to "try something different." Well, in the 10 months since he got his new FP he has done nothing but buttache about how much he hates the SRAM. He goes to the shop, gets an adjustment and he is happy for a day. Then on his next ride he again starts complaining again about the crappy shifts and the missed shifts. It is getting to the point where I almost don't want to ride with him because of all the buttaching and bellyaching.
