Oh, I totally agree. But then it's really about SRAM foisting a massive change on consumers in order to stick it to Shimano and make a statement. As a consumer, I can point out that that kind of sucks and I don't totally agree with it. And SRAM needs to become better at anticipating backlash and dealing with it ahead of time. It seems like they did a better job of it with this whole DUB change, but I think they're still relying a bit too much on journalists and the like to sell their changes for them.
