They’re fine now. The recall was slightly embarrassing but was nothing to do with the actual engineering, it was a simple O-ring that could fail in prolonged sub-zero temperatures and that came from a third party manufacturer.
Personally I quite like the feel of the hoods. I’m not a huge fan of the double tap shifting but then I’ve never owned a bike with SRAM, only used a couple briefly so I imagine if I took the time to get used to it, it’d be fine.
As soon as SRAM e-Tap wireless shifting is available with hydro discs, that’d be my ideal groupset.
