All right hand levers all with the same failure. All replaced instantly no questions asked. Usually Rival or Force.

I even think Ridethecliche has gone through 2 or 3 and mike in racing forum has gone through 3.

I have my computrainer class coach, ex-pro, masters national podium finisher, all around kick ass girl who has gone through 3 as well. She tears stuff up just through sheer use though so.....I always take her damaged parts with a grain of salt.
Interesting....even though most bikes come from the mfg basically buuilt these days, we tend to tear them down and redo them, to a certain extent. Two of the guys are ex-pro wrenchers and train the others and recheck their work...but I've not had the experience of hearing about this a lot...

SRAM's customer service is top notch.

Thanks for the info...
