I've read that as well. Tho:
1) SRAM says there's a break-in period and most longer-term reviews I've read seem to agree that they get much better after a couple hundred miles.
2) i just replaced my FSA's with force and I can't feel the bb being tight at all, even with only maybe 100 miles on them

Yep. I've had similar issues with my Force (tho not *that* bad) even using the Force FD. Played around with a bike that had Red on it and it was much much better. Better enough that I think I'm going to upgrade to the Red brifters.
