On Cyclingnews today:
Riis’ Cervelo was fitted with SRAM Force shifters, derailleurs, and carbon crankset. The “Force” logo is silkscreened right on the shifters, too, suggesting that this may be an actual production kit as the group name was heretofore a highly guarded bit of info.
Gerard, what a buzz killer. Just when there was a great conspiracy to debate, you go and screw it up by adding the facts! Couldnt you have said it mysteriously appeared at camp, delivered by a courier that looked suspiciously like Lance and the bike in it was actually a new Trek poly vinyl carbon tetrachloride vapour TT bike? What fun are you?
i wonder why they didn’t install the SRAM calipers? SRAM still working on them?
in the photos, those look a lot like shimano DA10 calipers.
They did install the SRAM calipers in Solvang at some time. Look at the front caliper at Bjarne Riis’ bike in the pic below. Maybe he was riding with both SRAM- and Dura-Ace calipers with the SRAM levers to compare the two calipers directly using the SRAM levers.
As you can see the SRAM caliper has a hole in the “arm” that goes up from the brake, which Shimano Dura-Ace doesn’t have:
How does one pronounce “sram”? I have always thought it was “es-ram,” but I think it is closer to “schram.” Anyone know what is right? It is not pronounced S-RAM, SchRAM, or SkRAM. Just SRAM.
