I mean I loved Suntour too, but at this point at least Shimano still makes a great product.... they could have killed off the competition then cut costs to the point where the two options were pricey and complete crap.
It's 'cause they own the market They make a damn fine product but I'd love to see some competition.

Besides, to quote Foghorn Leghorn, "Lookit here son, I say son, that's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is."
