SRAM has just announced a new Force groupset for 2010. Now borrowing technology from the pro-level SRAM Red, the new Force system weighs a claimed 1,951g, which is 352g lighter than Shimano Dura-Ace 7900.
Something that won’t be lighter, however, is your wallet. Where prices elsewhere in the bike industry are soaring, the price of Force is to stay the same.
The biggest weight saving is made by introducing a new BB30 chainset to fit the international standard pioneered by Cannondale, where bearings are pressed directly into an oversized shell. The regular GXP bottom bracket brings the weight of the groupset up to a claimed 2,097g, which is still 179g lighter than Dura-Ace.
Force moves to unidirectional carbon and forged aluminium throughout, which SRAM says adds strength and decreases weight. Aluminium parts are also anodised with a ‘zephyr’ dark silver finish to sharpen their look.
Force’s shifting technologies remain unchanged — SRAM’s trademark DoubleTap is still in place — but the brake calipers are now skeletonised, Red-style, with spring tension adjust and centring adjustment for
ease of set-up. This move will have shaved off a few grams.
Shifters include SRAM’s reach adjust feature, where levers can be brought inwards for smaller hands.
Watch this space for a full test.
FORMER BC CHIEF’S END-TO-END CHARITY RIDE
King for eight days
352G LIGHTER THAN DURA-ACE
New SRAM Force groupset unveiled
PETER King, the man who rescued a moribund British Cycling in the late 1990s, laying the foundations for the sport’s current Olympic successes, is to ride the End-to-End in aid of Prostate UK.
The former CEO of British Cycling, now an executive director and 65 this year, hopes to raise £5,000 on his eight-day, 851-mile marathon.
In 2004 King was successfully treated for prostate cancer, recovering in time to travel to the Athens Olympics to witness the British team’s successes there.
King will ride the challenge on a Pinarello Prince, which was presented to him recently by Britain’s Tour de France sprint legend Barry Hoban.
King is building up the miles, including riding the recent Brian Robinson Challenge sportive.
He has already got some high profile support. As well as from
within cycling, they include key figures from Manchester United, Sport England and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
His eight-day End-to-End bid starts from Land’s End on Friday, May 22, with a 124-mile ride to Exeter. King is due to reach John O’Groats the following Friday.
On his website www.justgiving.com/peterking2, King says, “I will be fulfilling a promise made five years ago to Professor Roger Kirby when he removed my cancerous prostate and thereby gave me a new lease of life — namely that I would celebrate five years of that new life by undertaking a serious fund-raising cycling challenge.
“Without Roger’s skill and the research work and support of the charity of which he is the president I may not have been able to ride my bike at all today, let alone take on the infamous End-to-End challenge.”
WAYNE Randle’s 18-58, clocked on the V718 Newport course on Good Friday is still the only sub-19-minute ‘10’ of 2009. And he might go even faster. The 44 year old revealed to CW: “I don’t think it were that fast a day.”
The Planet X northern hardman’s time equalled his career best, set in 2005 when he beat Stuart Dangerfield on the O10/2 Ranby course.
Did Randle know he was on target for an ‘18’ on Good Friday? “I’d never ridden that course before,” he said. “I thought, if I get a good day like, I might scrape it, but the day weren’t that fast. I mean, Cammish only did a 21-38 to win the Old Skool Series.
I remember doing a short 20 on a fixed bike when I were about 16.”
So was Randle tempted to ride Old Skool himself?
“I had a bike in the back of the car that they built me, but I couldn’t ride that
thing,” he said. “It weren’t just old school, it were like something out of the 18th century. It had a longer wheelbase than a car and I couldn’t be arsed to mess about.”
With Dangerfield on the comeback trail, will Randle ride the National ‘10’ and take the multiple national champion’s scalp again?
“Nah, I haven’t entered it. I’m sticking local,” he said. “It’s somewhere near London isn’t it? If it were down this area I might have a go.”
HARDMAN HOLDS ON TO RECORD
Randle still fastest at 44

Grupo SRAM Force 2010La fi rma estadounidense también ha renovado el segundo grupo de su gama y ya podemos ofreceros más información sobre su versión 2010, que estará disponible este próximo verano. El nuevo Force adopta diversas soluciones tecnológicas del Red y mejora tanto sus prestaciones como su peso y estética para dar un paso adelante importante.
TEXTO: REDACCIÓN – FOTO: SRAM
SRAM ha aplicado al Force avances que ya ha utilizado anteriormente en el Red, su grupo tope de gama. De este modo, este modelo refi na su funcionamiento gracias a tecnologías como las DoubleTap, ZeroLoss y Exact Actuation, que pro-porcionan un cambio rápido, suave y efectivo.El nuevo Force también permite ajustar la po-sición de los mandos de freno y cambio para adaptarse a todos los físicos y proporcionar una
mayor comodidad. Por otra parte, el diseño de los frenos es similar a los del Red, por lo que en este apartado mejora considerablemente la res-puesta y las posibilidades de ajuste.Diversos componentes están realizados en fi-bra de carbono unidireccional, como es el caso de bielas, mandos y partes del cambio trasero. El resto de elementos están fabricados en alu-minio forjado. Estos materiales proporcionan
mayor resistencia, y ligereza. Además, el nue-vo diseño con gráficos en blanco es más mo-derno y elegante.Otra de las principales novedades del Force 2010 es la disponibilidad de una versión con eje de pedalier BB30. Además de las consi-guientes ventajas en cuanto a funcionamiento, también se consigue así que el peso total del grupo sea de sólo 1.951 gramos, por los 2.097 de la versión estándar. SRAM lanzará el nuevo Force en sólo unos meses y, aunque no se conoce exactamente su tarifa, éste será muy similar al del Force actual, por lo que los usuarios dispondrán de mayores prestaciones por el mismo precio.
