Man, angry shimano haters in here! What do you guys hate about shimano? SRAM's a huge a#@ corp too man, big as sh$%, they bought Rock Shox and Avid for crying out loud! It is good to see other company's like SRAM trying to build good stuff. I love that, and I'd support a local inde. builder in a heartbeat, as long as the products solid,no matter the cost! But to say Shimano stuff is crap is bullsh$#! If components are adjusted properly and maintained, they will last a long time.
