GO SRAM....
No. it would be like ford suing chevy for using the SAME 4WD system that they use.
and all of you who talk about how different the SRAM triggers are, it seems to me like they look like shimano, work like shimano, but they aren't? Where's the differences, guys?
About the crankset thing, I think that shimano is getting screwed by the whole ISIS thing. the splined interface was their idea, and should not have been copied until the patent ran out. cheers to FSA and ritchey for buying the liscense for the octalink crank.
