subject: Sram Red For Quality, Durability And Biking Pleasure [print this page] SRAM red with its light weight and good looks works like a dream once you get used to using it. Only one lever is used to change the gear, unlike the designs flaunted by its competitors. The same lever is used by SRAM which is behind the brake lever which goes up and down. It is different from the other lever systems.
Different SRAM designing features: These levers stand out from the bunch as on the back lever they have neat little Red logos and they do not have the small knob on the within the body. The adjustable reach on the device lever and the brake lever suit the reach-ability desired as well as the hand size.
Brake lever can be adjusted to your needs after the gear lever is first adjusted which by standards all shifter or brake levers should have for great functioning. To make the Red shifters lighter than the other shifters lots of carbon is involved. For cabling at the back of the bars, there is also a choice of cable routing and the SRAM red cables can be flaunted at the front too.
Chain and crank set: SRAM has the power lock links which is much easier and secure. For strength and weight saving the pins are hollow. Apart from the Red logo the carbon cranks are very similar to the Campagnolo set in the way it looks. The set flaunts light weight and resistance free, smooth pedaling. The base set use BlackBox Ceramic bearings. The cranks are made of alloy and aluminum fixing bolts three chain ring combination and also six different lengths.
With great precision the rear derailleur uses the versatility of titanium and carbon. A wonderful piece of engineering is the sprocket cassette which is stiff, hard and very light. Right from the time SRAM red was brought out by the new Force and Rival group many people have been admiring it. After the release of the Red group set, SRAM was used first on Scott bikes and Trek Madone frames.
With no room for compromise on quality, this brand is by far the safest bet. SRAM converts to real biking fun, with the versatility that a bike is supposed to provide the modern biker who competes for fun. The name is now synonymous with durability and light weight biking features and is flaunted by the who's who of the industry.
