I wonder what the tone is like at the Shimano corporate office everytime Sram drops a new group on the market. I assume a whole lot of face palms especially when they realize all the triple cranksets they have sitting in a warehouse.
Shimano is now forced to compete with SRAM so this will benefit us while the price wars are going on but it's pretty safe to say once SRAM establishes a solid hold on the market and grows the prices will start going up; this is why I might get another set of Rival now and save it for a build later on.
