I dropped my crosser into Edwardes this morning, and they gave me this as a loaner whilst they fitted the cranks and brakes:
I can confirm that you can shift under full power at the front- I clearly need to work on my setup.
In fact, the front shifting is probably the single most impressive part of the package, that and the speed of the whole thing.
I think my SRAM Force is maybe as fast on up shifts at the rear, but for down shifts or anything at the front it is outshone.
With the possibility emerging that the new SRAM Red won't work without their cranks and rings, I am increasingly sold on a move back to Shimano, and a complete lack of cables in my life.
