Whereas not only is DA 7900 arguably the most user-friendly mechanical groupset available, but OP already is familiar with it. Choice is a no-brainer from my perspective.
Same here. Weird SRAM double-tap system. And SRAM brakes disappoint, as well. Wonky single pivot.
DA 7900 (and 7800) shift better than any of their mechanical setups. Looks gorgeous, too. Total no-brainer.
Easy to find the DA crankset in 50/34 configuration. Chainrings more durable, as well.
You find SRAM's weight differential in the crankset, which I consider their best component.
