Shimano is The BEST!

I like sram because I live less than 20 miles from their world head quarters in Chicago. I had a sram x.0 rear derailleur that the main spring broke on and just went to the bike shop where I bought it and they called sram and they sent a brand new x.0 rear derailleur in 4 days no hassle no bullshit you can't beat that kind of customer service.

Anyone who said that Shimano is shity group should ride, ride, AND ride on it, after 1-3years finished that test and say it again. I use SLX in my AM bike, maybe breaks are not best, maybe , because they are not XTR level, but I ride in summer, winter, all the time, and it works good!

Thumbs up if you think you can put your life in the hands of Shimano XTR.

[SpoonyCarrot]

sram is way better! ive rode both, but personally i like the smoothness of all the sram products..except rockshox... i just have been really unlucky and all the rockshox forks and shocks i have gotten suck!!

[rayhaanf]

nothing sram makes can compare to XTR

[barugboog]

More of a SRAM person but kudos for the nice ad

[ftpaddict]

@dbauernf

also yeah

Avid brakes, Truvativ crank on my roadie, had two RS forks and I'll be getting SRAM chain and cassette on both bikes.

Shimano cranks are still the best, though. XT-and-above hydraulic brakes are also excellent.
