That's interesting. Goes to show different strokes for different folks. My SRAM experiences have been neutral at best and incredibly expensive for no good reason at worst. The higher end products exist in the price category where they should thrill and they don't seem capable of that.
edit. I had to think more about this. I think for brakes they're as good as anything else they are priced comparatively with, same with forks and shocks. It's the drivetrain stuff that bugs me. I bought two bikes in the last years and dumped the sram stuff right away because the mid quality stuff isn't great and selling it covered the cost of a new driver and conversion to XT, whose replacement cost is less than half the price of a comparable SRAM unit.
