It sucks.
It wont work with after market cables. Give it enough time (3 months or so...) and it wont work with shimano cables. Tuned up chopper's bike, shifting was horrible. Took a GORE cable from my new sram force group. Its fine. Give it a few weeks tho, im sure it will need more adjusting. Keep in mind this is after the 7900 quick link debacle that i had already fixed months earlier.
I ask people "If you got 3 groups to choose from, why choose the heaviest/most expensive?" They tell me, "dura-ace is like an old friend, i go with what i know". I can respect that, but, at what point does the old friend become the guy who's been crashing on your couch for the last 4 months?
My beef isnt with shimano, its with this particular incarnation of dura-ace. You have to have a top end shimano group? Get Di2.
