Trek isn't putting Dura Ace on anything except the really high end stuff. Others are probably doing the same due to the cost. There is a huge difference in price from Ultegra to Dura Ace with very little performance returns that are noticeable. SRAM has a good line that is comparable to Shimano's top three lines. The shifting is slightly different tho. All this is due to "trickle-down" design technology & innovation. You may generally pay more for "staged" upgrades as you won't get any potential "package" discount. If you are looking to eventually upgrade all the drivetrain & shifting components, it would probably make more sense to invest in a higher end bike. For the BSG you will definitely need to get a lower geared cassette, especially if you have a "standard" crankset. Not knowing what your set-up is now, no suggestions as to how low can be given.

Joshua Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 2:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [COWs] Dura Ace upgrade I need to get a new cassette for the BSG ride, and I'm thinking about slowly making an upgrade to my whole drive train. I currently have the low end Sora components. Unfortunately, with the impending move to dallas, I cant shell out between 1000-1400 bucks right now for a full drivetrain upgrade. Does it make sense to upgrade one component at a time. In this case I think I will need to upgrade the cassette and the deraiuler at the same time. Also, does any one have any arguments for getting SRAM or another brand of components? Goose Rev. Joshua M.K. Goocey Senior Minister First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) 207 Tarboro St. N.

We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
