SRAM Rival VS. Shimano 105?
Which is a better choice? I already read numerous horror stories about the Rival having clunky shifting no matter how much you tune them and the problems with the front derailleur. They are both in the same market so I was wondering which is better? Shimano derailleurs and shifters have a reputation for being the smoothest and the most precise. Would SRAM Rival be better or perhaps equal? Considering the lowest budget components possible without sacrificing smoothness and precision shifting.
I tried both but since I was familiar with the 105, I prefer the shimano more. Have you tried the fit of the hoods? I definitely prefer the shimano hoods although it may vary with other people. The shifting is also more precise with shimano; you can feel the clicks (1, 2 or 3) and expect that many gears will downshift. With Rival, first click is a upshift, then 2nd click is the downshift, and 3rd click is 2 or 3 gears downshift. I also find it takes more force to downshift since the levers are shorter, instead of using the brake levers like in shimano.
With the front derailleurs, the bike I test rode didn't have that problem, but I imagine it would be an issue since there's no trim available.
