I did test ride the shimano for about 25 km the sram rival only about 7km, because of the bad temperature and the rain i f i remember at this moment it's seems sram shifting is a bit more rough in the front then shimano but like I said maybe with more mile I would be comfortable with sram and I like the aesthetics of sram
I would be only upgrading the wheels if i had two in a season or two because in the end I want to participate in some few events and even races
