2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted September 24, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Has anyone used the Sram double tap shift levers ? I'm thinking of getting an Sram groupset but my one reservation is the lack of trim on the front shifter. So I wondered if anyone had used one and what their experience was.

Life Members chung Posted September 25, 2008 Life Members Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Paul, I think Dougie had Sram Force on his new Cevelo from last year, maybe he's got some opinion on it? Are you building a new secret weapon for next year? Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Blom Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 paul, If Dougie (Da Rosa) has bought it then it means the business!!! The man knows his kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted September 25, 2008 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for the tip Chung. Yes I am plotting a new secret weapon - its a good way to keep in touch with my cycling side whilst I have a break from riding !!

Dougie Da Rosa Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi guys,no I have not fallen off the edge of the earth...yet!!! I just seem to be surrounding myself with more and more carbon things... Paul,yes I do have Sram Force 10 on my Cervelo and after a year I can honestly say I am impressed.Having always been a Shimano man mostly I decided to try it as I got a great deal and it looks braw. The double tap is magic,also the ability to change gear whilst sprinting on the drops is a neat idea.I have never yet had an issue with the lack of adjustment on the trim for front mech but I understand they have improved this on the new RED groupset.The only critcism I have is the effort required to go back up the block on the double tap,slightly greater than Shimano Dura-Ace but there again you have the advantage of neatly routed cables although I see Shimano have changed this now.The comfort of the hoods is the best I have ever ridden and for riders with smaller hands the reach for the brake levers is much easier too. Good luck whatever you buy,hope to see you all maybe over the winter on the road if I fall out with my nice new Yeti carbon mtb.Cheers Stevie for bumming me up about my choice of kit,another drink owed I guess?.
