i havent been super impressed with SRAMs durability.

i've had a Rival shifter paddle snap off after a coupe of years and a RED rear derailleur fail catastrophically after 3 years. this is out of two complete bikes, one rival and one RED.

i like the feel but that definitely more catastrophic failrure than i ever had with shimano. the positive is SRAM replaced both items no questions asked. nd in a timely manner.
