I should really stop looking at the internet, it’s just confusing… Just when you think you might have decided, you look at something else and change you mind. I think I need someone to slap me around the face with a fish and tell me to get a grip.
Anyway, never having run any SRAM stuff, I don’t know how they different levels compare to to Shimano. Is Apex the equivalent of 105, or is that Rival…?
Is the Rondo RUUT AL just a better NS RAG+…?
If I stuck 28mm tyres on 700c wheels, and all other things being equal, went out for a long road ride on the Marin Gestalt X11 or Nukeproof Digger, would I really get pissed off that they’re maybe not as racy on-road as the NS RAG+ or Rondo RUUT AL. Or would, as a mere plodding mortal, I not notice any difference whatsoever…?
