Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SRAM part numbering system

Noticed with the few SRAM bits I've played with, that they have a three digit numbering system that corresponds to the number of gears it's intended for, plus an indicator of the quality of the item. Is that an indication of what groupset it's associated with, or is it fuzzier than that?

Yes. Pretty much.

First number is gears, second number is level.

For road, 30 is Apex, 50 is Rival, 70 is Force and 90 is Red. So, 930 would be nine-speed Apex, whereas 1170 would be 11-speed Force. Sometimes you'll see something like 1191, that is usually an updated version of the original.
