    Hi
    I'm currently running ultegra 6700 compact
    Why are you looking to change?
    Does the sale include rear derailleur, bottom bracket & cables?

    Similar mileage to your own and in very good to excellent condition.
    Has it already been removed form the bike and why do you want to change to ultegra?

    Its all still on bike. I,m just not feeling the love for sram. There is nothing wrong with any of parts. Done same with MTB last year. Changed from X9 back to XT.

    I'm "sram curious"

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056609322

    I've never tried sram but hoping to at some stage this week.
    Need to see what this double tap is all about and if it's any easier on the left wrist.
    Where are you based, (Dublin I think?) is it Nthside or Sthside?

    Double tap becomes second nature very easily. *Unless you have a massive hangover. Although steering and other functions are also effected. Sth dub.

    I'll give it a shot and come back to you.

    I,m going to withdraw this ad. Apology's furiousox. Sram is addressing some issues for 2013. From what i,m reading bike Radar/Sea Otter. Yaw control front derailers = no more rubbing at extremes of cassette. Noise suppressed cassettes! Would be fairly handy/cheap fix for me just change out front derailer. Thats my main gripe with group. Non-Shifting and rubbing of the front.

    Hi - yes the new SRAM 2012 looks good . They are saying that you will need to change out the stis if you want to use the new front derailleur though.
