That's fine. Not everyone has to be willing to pay. It is a business after all (with 50% tax almost).

The quality of the product compared to Shimano is slightly irrelevant.

I see that this conversation is becoming prototypically American ... as in if I call a market "minor" based on your definition, you're insulted.

You claimed special "cars" for your market.

Nope.

The NA bike market will always be behind/different than the rest of the globe.

Not at all. The weight is at the middle of the wheel. However this was on an MTB.
