I upgraded my derailleur from the SRAM Apex to the SRAM Force this weekend. The Apex one worked fine, but I wanted something new for my bike, and I thought this would be a fairly inexpensive upgrade to my bike, and one that could potentially have a marginal beneficial performance improvement to boot. I was doubtful how much of a difference it would really make... I mean a derailleur is after all only a very simple mechanical device.First impressions: Pretty ugly color scheme on this piece of equipment! My bike is all anodized black, and this is, I don't know, like a grey with a blueish green tint depending on how the light hits it. It's a weird color, and not my favorite.

This is my second sram force rear derrailleur. The first got chewed up enough I had to finally replace it. Shifting on these is crisp and clean. Construction is solid and it's easy to maintain.One small issue is that it will jam up very easily if you ever pedal backwards. I know, this shouldn't ever happen. But I commute in Boston every day and sometimes you come to a stop and your pedals aren't where you want them. So you typically backpedal a half turn to get them to the right place. This is enough to cause the chain to hop over the top of the cage and run along the outer plate. Again, this shouldn't really be a concern but it would be nice if there was more of a lip on the top of the outer

This derailleur works as I had expected it to. It allows an excellent increase in gearing potential without having to use a compact crankset which reduces top end speed.We will be using this for Ironman Canada and the lower gearing is almost a requirement for the 6000+ feel of climbing on that course, but there is also a 60 km dead flat section that the big ring is really useful for.This solves both requirements, with only a minimal weight penalty!A great product for climbing courses!

swapped out my older SRAM Force for this new medium cage shifter. Went on flawlessly, and allowed my to put on an 11-30 rear cassette. Made my hill climbs in the local mountains much more enjoyable! Was hoping to up grade to the SRAM 11-32 cassette, but my freehub only accepts Shimano Dura-ace hubs, darn it!Very smooth shifting, much more precise than my old one. Goes into the 30 tooth cog with no grinding or resistance. Love it!!

Finally I can have 11-32! I've been riding 11-25 with 53/39 and on the hardcore climbs I would suffer big time. The gear range is so wide that you can do a lot of climbing in just the large chainring.*Note: Don't be fooled by the pic, it shows a short cage derailleur. I ordered it and yes it's the correct longer size that enables 11-32.

Product was an exact replacement, however carbon fiber bikes use a derailleur hanger which was also broken. After I received the derailleur, I found I had to order a derailleur hanger for my Giant bike to allow me to mount the derailleur. This delayed the repair a few more days. I wish there was a warning or associated equipment listed.

In the hilly area where I live, and considering I'm quite out of shape, combining an 50-34 crank and an 11-32 cassette is a great combination! The 50 front and 32 rear combination lets me climb small hills with out dropping to the small front ring. 34 front and 32 rear lets me spin up steep hills slowly.

Came as advertised, although I made a mistake and should have got the Wi Fli for the gearing that's on the bike, but I had all ready installed so will use it with smaller cassette. And will look into getting the proper derailer later . Thank you

Meant as a replacement to the original that had become bent. Cable attachment/routing was a bit different from what was already on the bike but installed easily and fixed my shifting problem.

SRAM has exploded in popularity and market share the last few years.I find their equipment sets up easier, is more rugged and dials in easier.I'm a SRAM guy from here on.

Affordable high-end! Force is a great group for any of the parts you need. It's Red in different clothing and a fraction of a price.

Performs well, and actually seems less 'noodly' than the Red derailleur after a thousand of hours on the bike.

I just rebuild a used Bianchi racer that i bought on-line. Replace all moving part on it, made it new again.

No issues, used it to replace an older Red model that had broken. Shifts well, easy to install and dial in.

I used to have a Sram Rival compact cage. This shifts faster and is a LOT quieter. Very happy with it.
