General Cycling Discussion - True or False: Shimano owns SRAM?

Maybe I heard wrong, but I thought someone passed along to me that Shimano now owns SRAM.
SRAM owns Avid and Truvativ (short for "truly innovative).

I've GOOGLED Shimano/SRAM, but found nothing.

Can someone square me away on this rumor please? Say it isn't so!

Applesauce.

I heard a rumor that Campagnolo owned SRAM...Now I'm really confused.

god farted and it was bad!

suntour owns all :P

Carlyle Group and Onex Corp recently bought Allison Transmission and hope to acquire both Shimano and SRAM. Pass it on.

suntour owns all :P

If God were an ice cream flavor, he'd be Suntour and cream.

<irish>I believe ya, when me **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet</irish>

But seriously, Halliburton owns both SRAM and Shimano.

Hitler Holdings, LLC currently owns Campagnolo.

all your groupsets are belong to us!

I am pretty sure Halliburton owns them. And Wal-Mart owns Halliburton.

Umm, no.

**Doubletake**

This isn't the SS & FG forum.

At&t Ftw.

SRAM, Truvativ, and Avid, are all one company.

Shimano does not own any of them.

You are spoiling this thread by using Actual Facts.

THE MAN is in the process of buying everything. When he's done, the rest of us are screwed. :D

I'm going to say, judging by all the dumb *ss responses, that you probably shouldn't have asked that question.

SRAM is locked in vicious fight with Shimano for market share. I just can't see them selling out to Shimano. Good luck in your quest grasshopper.

You heard right, but what was said was not that shimano now owns sram but that shimano PWNS sram. The difference is subtle but profound.

...and Wal-Mart is owned by the CIA!


There was a shooter on the grassy knoll! :D

and the CIA is run by Bush, and Bush is from Texas, and Lance is from Texas, and Lance rode Shimano..... need I say more ????

so the TX mafia(good ole boys?) owns shamino - does that mean the yakuza own campagnolo?

How does this bilge get started in the first place?

Both Shimano and SRAM make bilge pumps and they look alike!.
