Reality is, innovative products today become obsolete tomorrow because a better mousetrap comes along.


Countless innovations are relegated to the scrap heap due to a plethora of faults. The durability of FS has been called out because owners have weighed in. It won't last. The FS will be superseded as well....just like BB30 replaced carbon OSBB on Spesh's top Sworks race bikes.
What do call making the better mousetrap? Isn't that innovation? Everything evolves to improve.
