It's gonna suck grinding off those forged, machined logos while making sure no little flecks get into the pulleys. Is it a general bad vibe about shimano this days? I'm looking at a new bike but barly dare to look at sram ones due to that I never have actually used sram equipped bikes. I hear XO should be great, but that tells me nothing. I don't have the percentages of Shimano vs. other company's sales, but in fairness I'd say there's a large silent majority who use Shimano stuff and like it fine. Or don't know any better. With that said, I tried some low end SRAM trigger stuff last year and it was bangin' compared to my ride's late 90's Shimano XT shifters/der's. I didn't know that all-plastic could be that bad. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |

Their greed-based obsolescence of what worked well for so long is going to drive them full circle. JD I agree with JD. Seeing how SRAM makes a better product, Shimano is going to copycat bigtime, and even fail in the process, although it'll look resemblant, it won't function as well. |
