2 SWORKS Tarmac SLs, 2 bikes that shift like crap. Jacked around with them way too long. Called Specialized, and am told the only difference is that the rings are stiffer. I asked why the change, because I swear up and down that the 2007 rings are the best shifting rings ever produced. Was told they flexed too much, and that's probably why the felt so good. Under heavier loads, though, that flex wasn't good.
So now, these new '08 rings...I swear, they're like bad FSA rings. real choppy when they do work, which isn't very often.
Speccy did send me 2 sets of rings/ spiders, so we'll see what happens.
The real ****ter is that the tool needed to swap spiders is over $100 for shops to purchase.
