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.
SRAM triggers are by far superior to STI/Rapidfire or the new flipper ****ty stuff by shimano. Shimano just wants to monopolise stuff....so their new products are more monopoly-friendly rather than refined and developed.....they only use old ideas which they pose as their own...and then they move forward to sue others for making similar products....
Kudos to all the other companies that try to refine and develop products instead of playing with lawsuits.
