Zipp does not make automotive parts. Perhaps there's some custom one-off that they don't advertise in any way and no one knows about, but there are certainly no production car parts. I'd like to know where you got this information.

....but they're a day late and a dollar short. SRAM has pwnd Shimano. |

So, I just tested out the SRAM shifting, decided I could get used to that, and arranged an order. Psimet has just posted it...:thumb: |
We have the Ultegra 6700 groupo in our shop now. Looks just like 7900 stuff, but the crank has a really cheapy feel and finish to it.
Shifters are almost identical to 7900, just a tad heavier. |

while it's not fair to compare DA to rival, i'll do it anyway.
DA = butter. rival = ratchet. don't get me wrong, i do like the rival i have on my US bike, especially considering the price. regardless, sram still has some odd quirks, i.e. on saturday there was a guy whose drivetrain was making a total racket. every time he shifted you could hear it from a few bikes away. i thought that maybe his cassette was loose. it wasn't until later that i realized he had red. you don't see much sram in NL (yet). |
I hear the cable routing is a clusterfark.

Perhaps the SRAM noise only becomes pronounced with OG-series cassettes? Anyone run Ultegra/DA chains on an OG cassette? |
Pedal Force specs an Ultegra chain with their 2010 Force group as part of the group buy. Not sure their reasoning. I'll be replacing with a KMC anyway so I can get a master link (I hate replacing pins). I'll probably just sell the Ultegra chain when I get it.

Can I swap the new 6700 shifters onto my 6600 groupset without too much trouble?
|
I know Dura-Ace has hidden shifter and brake cables now, but howabout 2010 Ultegra? I'm running Tiagra right now, upgrading towards Ultegra would be a nice step anyway.

Buy the KMC, and use the link with the Ultegra chain, and then again with the KMC chain when the Ultegra wears out.
