I have the Red and it's light, stiff and handsome....Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -
Red is a good option if you aren't riding Campagnolo and can bear the graphics.
Otherwise Campagnolo carbon UT0 -
Anything Sram produces is a bad option if you want a good quality reliable groupset.
If this is what you are looking for, Campagnolo is the answer.0 -

The cups aren't in a brilliant state (someone was a little heavy handed installing them so they have a few scratches etc. round the outsides!)0 -

LOL ... I don't much care for SRAM either though their chainsets are among the better parts of the groups.0 -
If you have Campag, Merlin are doing the Centaur UT carbon for £150.0

Not bigging up SRAM by any means but I've not seen any bad words on the chainsets myself .......Campag UT on the other hand...... that's had a fair chunk of bad press in its time.
The Campag stuff certainly looks the business though.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -

Not much in it between Red and Record in terms of performanceFacts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -
Yeah, I think it's one of the better parts of the SRAM group - along with the brakes, whcih are very good.
Q-factor would be a PITA coming from Campagnolo.
I find CULT bearings the smoothest of the main manufacturers' offerings.
And IMO Campagnolo carbon looks far nicer than Red.
But the 52-36 option is sweet - wish Campag offered that stock.0
