Well, finally found a used bike deal that made me pull the trigger; Sram SX components... initial impression is that the downshifts seem really clunky and the upshifts are slow to happen, but that's just on 45 minutes of riding; I'll give it some time and see if I just need to get the shift timing figured out. Brakes seem to have lots of open pull before the grab on solidly....again, maybe just need to get their feel down.

The levers may be adjustable to bite a bit quicker
Your finding out what a lot of us dislike about SRAM from a shifting viewpoint - although as i said in one of the above posts, im running SRAM too - and voluntarily at that due to Shimano not making a gripshift competitor

Once they wear out, I will replace with Shimano XT.
