    I would guess that SRAM AXS is crushing Shimano's Di2 sales. I have no idea of the pricing but I don't know a single person that's went with Di2 since AXS came out. I don't care for either but demo'd Di2 and wasn't impressed. I have not even bothered tryin AXS. I agree Shimano makes a great product and would happily run a Shimano drivetrain if SRAM didn't exist. I'd prefer to pay Shimano prices too but SRAM is a smoother running platform in my opinion, and obviously millions of others, so it's worth paying extra for. :thumbsup:

    Besides, I don't know the whole Subway infatuation story but the product opinions of anybody that seeks out Subway when it's literally the worst of of any sandwich chain in existence is definitely suspect. :D

    Shimano had a clutch on the rear derailleur first... so there's that.

    Could there be better irony?

    Y'know, I would argue that their meatball sub on parm bread is really very good, but @Mikie LOVES their breakfast sandwich, which is not-arguably the WORST breakfast sandwich ever sold for human consumption. It's scientifically proven!

    And since I started this latest round of Shimano vs SRAM, let me just say that I have been a huge Shimano fan until this 12 spd XT. That said, their brakes are da bomb and SRAM should be strung up and made to eat Subway breakfast sandwiches for their LAZY-ASS excuse for rear cassette intervals. C'mon - really? Slap a 52 tooth to your 11 spd 10-42 cassette? Inexcusable. Some of us can use something between 42 and 52. Actually, most of us can.

    You don't climb anything steep... :whistling:

    And don't you still have a front derailleur? o_O

    But 42 is the answer to everything, so you've got that going for you... which is nice...

    Maybe, but I still can't find some of the parts I need, so WTH.
    Me likes shimano, sram is ok, so one is betterer than the other or not, ride what ya ride and like the snake said, if all yall can't figure out my crap English than whatever. I know what people are trying to say regardless of grammar.... this may be from me working with many English as a second language folks and deciphering what they are trying to convey.
    their doing they're part where there doing it and IDC if the grammar is good bad or ugly. :)
    Now carry on. :)

    If you guys want to push the Scram vs Slumano. I can quickly determine the materials down to the zilch level. I will get the guys to put it in the electron microscope and we will run an EDS (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). EDS don't lie, people do

    I was out front this afternoon asking the landscaper not to bother with the backyard because my wife was back there getting some sun and reading. Just as I'm telling him this his assistant/helper comes running out of the side gate with his weedwhacker. He'd walked in the back gate with his radio blaring and my wife freaked out. She thought someone was breaking in and ran at him screaming.:Roflmao

    What gets me is that she pleads ignorance. Like, what does she think those two dudes running around with machines on the lawn at 2 PM EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY are doing!?!

    Nobody can be trusted when they call Shimano Slumano.

    When I had my Gardening business, naturally all my residential clients (all 148 per week) wanted their lawns cut on Friday. So for Christmas, I always sent out Reliable Lawn Service Calendars.
    Every day of the week was printed as Friday on the company calendar. :D

    To be fair, they do make the most powerful E-bike motor, right? Maybe, Scumano?
