    Favorite Ride:
    Pedal The Pinchot

    Bike Setup:
    Specialized M4 SWorks. 1/2 Ultegra and 1/2 Dura Ace as the Ultegra stuff breaks and falls off.

    Summary:
    Shifts nice when clean but not as good as DA. Catastrophic failure when it wears out. I rode this one for 2 years (appx 2,000 miles). Cleaned fairly regularly. One day it just wrapped itself up in the chain and snapped in half. Rode single speed home.

    Strengths:
    Decent shifting and weight, nice looking - reasonable price.

    Weaknesses:
    Snaps in half when it's worn out and takes other parts with it.

    Similar Products Used:
    Dura Ace (excellent).
