I have no experience with SRAM. But, I was on an organized ride with another rider 4 or 5 years ago. He had a new bike with SRAM. The FD would not shift onto to small ring. At the first SAG the mech support took a look at it. The rest of the ride was mostly climbing. The mechanic said it was a common problem with that SRAM group. He got it onto the small ring and told the other rider to leave it there. He also told him to switch out the SRAM to another brand.
