The ramp system on the Wickwerks is all they say it is. I'm running thier non-standard 34/53 setup and even with the huge jump the shifting from small to large is amazingly fast and direct. Better than anything I have and with nothing but a normal FD shifting. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with mine. They are heavily used overseas in the pro cyclecross circuit.
The Wickwerks are rated as about the best over on ST as well... but good lordy they is ugly. I wish they'd apply the color after machining out the hollow areas; the two-tone look is heinous (and yes that applies to DA9000 and half of factory car wheels these days).
