I have a sram equiped bike. It don't find it to be very noisy, but i don't have a red cassette either. I have no particular love for sram, but whats the deal with all the sram hate.

On the plus side, their warranty department works quickly, and never gives me a hassle.

Your cog is slipping.
Dude, stop typing. If mihlbach uses Sram, it's the best.

It doesn't matter. He's far above being concerned with trivial things like facts, other opinions or caring.

The problem is not transmission it's creation.

Many of their products aren't even their own design, but were designed by other companies that they purchased(Avid, Rock Shox, Zipp).

Sounds like a couple of you guys were using the miche cog carrier system.
Thoughts? How does the quality of the cog compare to others? DA, EAI, etc?

I use the miche system. I like it and it doesnt seem to make much noise. I suppose if I used a3/32 chain as opposed to the 1/8 i have it might be quieter. Doesnt rust as much as the surly ones i used either.
