I've always gone Shimano as well, but I've read positive things about Sunrace (Taiwan-based) and the quality of their "lower end" components. When I was at RBW they mentioned it's a new thing going to Sunrace with some of the completes and I trust they would only spec them if they were good.
Of course a brand new drivetrain always feels great so the real test is how the components hold up after a few thousand miles. Front derailleur is the Skeleton Key one - not very attractive but works perfectly. In any case, those components are easily replaced if necessary but will definitely leave it as-is for now. Can't wait to hear what you think when your Green one arrives! Brett. On Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 4:19:39 AM UTC-8 Tim Bantham wrote: Thanks for your comments on the drive train. I somehow missed the part about the rear derailleur being a SunRace I thought it was one of the Shimano variants that Riv carries. I'm a little disappointed by that since I have always gravitated towards Shimano. I thought the front derailleur was the one they called the Skeleton Key. I was going to swap the front out right away. Maybe now I'll keep both and see how I get along with them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
