According to Lightweight handbook is only for shimano and campy. I assume sram are similar to shimano. Anyone? _________________ Parlee Z3sl - 5 kg Passoni Xxti- 6.2 kg

Now planing to go sram, just would like to ask before i took out from the bike. If cant fit i wont do it and have to reinstall back to campy again. _________________ Parlee Z3sl - 5 kg Passoni Xxti- 6.2 kg
