So I guess when the engine goes out on my 2000 Excursion, which has 210, 000 miles I should expect Ford to replace it? My God you abused that lever in a very short time. Buck up and replace it yourself. It isn't SRAM's fault you put 4 bike lifetimes on your bike in 3 years. No wonder stuff costs so much with people like this around.
Your tire manufacturer knows your tire isn't going to last 17, 000 miles. Do you expect them to pay for your riding habits too?
