There is also no question anymore that SRAM sucks. <br /><br />You pretty much did what every other site did, you didn't say anything critical in fear of stepping on SRAM's toes. <br /><br /> But then next week someone from Pinkbike will conduct a troll poll asking 'Are there too many hub standards?

Engineers don't spec the parts, they don't do the marketing, they don't write the press releases, they don't do sales forecasts,they are not the product manages. Shit, most of them are not creative enough to come up with most of these standards. What engineers have done is figured out how to make every request from the former a reality. Is this new standard necessary? Fuck no, and neither is mountain biking, at all. Blame the "journalists"? Yeah, think about that for more than 10 seconds...ok, good, glad you recognized your ignorance in that thinking. I'd be willing to bet that most of the angst at new standards is simply a projection of one's inability to financially keep up with the pace of product evolution. But you don't have to, at all, go to a pawn shop, or a swap meet an buy a good 15 year whatever is available and don't give a dime to those who are "fucking you over". Take those parts and replace your "old" standard parts. No one is fucking you over. You're the pussy because you won't let your ego do that, nor will you acknowledge that given the choice, you wouldn't want to go back to the "old" standard. Bunch of entitled cry-babies.
