eh. I like Shimano and everything high end they make, but I recently made the switch to Force and Rive over 105 and It's a huge upgrade in my eyes. While it might not be as "smooth" I find it's a bit quicker in and the ergo of the brifters is SO much nicer in my eyes. I would get a weird cramp sometimes from using the Brake lever shifter on the 105, but on the sram it hasn't happened yet. To each his own. For now, I'm with Sram, though using shimano cassettes are a possibility but I like to run complete groups.
