My FD worked for over a year with but a few hitches that wasn't impossible to fix. And because I was so happy with it, I'm about to fit it on my Sram Rival controlled bike so I have all the features except gear indicator and cadence. To see what gear I'm in so I don't have to look back at the cassette and risk catastrophic injury, I've just installed the Dura-Ace inline gear indicator. It actually works with Rival. I'll post pics in another thread to show one and all how awesome it is.
