SRAM with Shimano?

[Brighter-Lights]

Well, I'll give you a good reason to mix...I got to dislike the plastic P-knuckle on the X9 rear der. Pivots wear out excessively fast with lots of mud riding. I changed back to Shimano rear der because all the main parts are aluminium with more durable pivots/bushes. I love the feel of the twisters (I have X0's fitted with the harder grips of the X9's) So I had to find the twisters SRAM made to work with Shimano.  And that was good for 2 years and many miles.

 

But after feeling the new XT and XTR triggers...They have a smoothness and precision that's unlike any ever manufactured... (I grew up with Shimano 200GS and Alivio Rapid Fire in the early 1990's... so I've mostly used triggers since then... )

 

So I have to admid that although I sweared that I will never ride anything else than twisters, the new shimano has made me change my mind.
