SRAM Rival 1x11 v Force 1x11
is there any noticeable difference between these two groupsets other than weight ? I've ordered a CX bike with Force but the build date keeps getting put back due to (I think) inavailability of some Force components, whereas builds incorporating Rival are available.
Cheers

The thing is, Mr Bags, if you order the Rival you will always know it isn't quite as good as the Force. Like the man who drives a Maybach and is jealous of the Bentley he should have bought.
I think they call this a first-world problem.
Based on my experience of riding through Knightsbridge, I believe some people resolve this by buying both.
