Ceramic bearing pulleys are the most over priced add on that there is.

I've never had a chain drop or problems with 16 FD setups, but no SRAM cranks, and no wedges. Draw your own conclusions. I did get rid of two Force d1 FDs and found new Rival models to replace them. I can run 46/30 chain rings with 10-44 cassettes. Every gear combo is useable, but I avoid using the 46/44.
