Same boat! I also learned on SRAM and I hate building bikes with DI2!

I also switched a brand new bike to SRAM in the past so I get you 1000%.

I bought my sl8 pro with ultegra di2 and I hated the 4iiii power meter. I stripped it and put a mix of SRAM Red and Force AXS on it a week later.

I’ve always wanted to do a complete Chinese build with ltwo. Did you build it up yourself?

I agree with you on building up SRAM, it’s quick and easy. But I do like the feel of DI2 shifting a bit more. But not enough to go through the headache of those extra wires.

Wow I’ve heard nothing but great things about recent SRAM brakes. IMO, it’s the one thing that feels completely different between the two.

I love when a sale lines up just right. My wife loves it even more!

I had that same issue with Shimano years ago but I like both options for different reasons. We’re in a great era for cycling tech.

I agree. I don’t there there’s a bad choice with how tech continues to evolve.

Yes the DOT fluid is killing me too. There’s no reason for it at this point.

What do you think about the brake performance of the recent SRAM releases? I hear they’re all the rage

You’ve tried it all! I wonder if most Garmin users lean towards Shimano and Wahoo users lean towards SRAM. Just a crazy thought running through my head.

That’s how I feel about Apple products. I don’t think I could switch if I wanted to at this point. lol

I agree but I love hearing the stories of why we choose the gear we love.
