They for sure will look a lot less ugly if in the prod version they will have huge SRAM logos all over the lever blade :lol: :lol: :lol:

Alas those are pro only. Even SRAM employees can't get hold of those. Becuase I agree, the big logo versions logo awesome.

Look a lot like my Shimano GRX levers which are my favorite Shimano levers ever.

Looks huge, too bad they couldn’t come up with something more streamlined. But now a days it’s not only an engineering challenge but also a challenge to navigate the wall of patents in place.

The pad clearance is the PITA not the FD setup

Don't buy the CS junk. The new RD will already include a 12/14t pulley system as stock.

Interesting that the manufacturer is basically saying "don't worry about our 10t cassette cog, but hey look, we made the pulley system more efficient by increasing cog size".

I love having the 10t cog. It’s great for those points in races where we’re doing 50km/h at Z2 power and I just want some feedback/resistance while doing 80rpm. It allows me to run a cassette with 330% range that also has six 1-tooth jumps. I don’t think SRAM is telling people not to worry about the 10t cog, rather they are presenting it as overall beneficial to most riders…which it is.

This!

The 10T cog and the pully wheels are completely different use cases. The 10T is at the edge of your cassette and likely gets used a tiny fraction of your overall ride time....the pully wheels are rotating 100% of the time that you're pedalling.

Not buying an OSPW, just quoting from a mail to all dealers. I am happy with Dura Ace ;)
