Talk:SRAM Corporation/Archive 1

Removed from Shimano by 147.10.181.10:

In 2004 the SRAM group acquired the capacity to compete with Shimano in building complete groupsets for mountain bikes, including complete drivetrains, brake systems, and suspension components. With refinements by both Shimano and SRAM, such as the different leverage ratio used by SRAM rear deraillers and Shimano's move to Rapid Rise deraillers, many of the components produced by each company are incompatible with the other's products. Many users of high-end components believe SRAM's high-end products perform better and are more durable than Shimano's, so as of the beginning of 2005, many users are threatening to switch to SRAM groupsets as a result of Shimano's move to proprietary standards.

Patent Listing???
Why are we listing all the patents held by SRAM? SRAM is innovative. We know. If we continue this practice, the article on IBM would be immense!

"The system is simple to set up and stays in tune longer than competitive systems." This isn't very NPOV. Can someone maybe cite for this? 65.93.108.41 02:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Citation needed. I don't see that in the article.
