I think the coolest thing about the SRAM gruppos is that when you're in the drops, you can hold the trigger for the derailleurs and then shift w/o having to change your hand position.
But I'm not a big fan of using the same lever for up/downshifting - b/c you push it further to the left to downshift, but not as far to upshift. Just personal preference I guess.

Ceramic bearings have the ability to rotate faster. You must be one hell of a human if you can take advantage of this advantage.

Picked up my new bike with SRAM Force last night & just got back from a rocking group ride. I've ridden Shimano for just about forever, so there was a little bit of head reprogramming needed.
Other than that, I think I'm in love.
