Is Sram going mad

Misleading advertising. No way the RRP is R22k. It just makes the deal appear more attractive because of the massive "discount".

Ugh, all these SS okes. It's like a cult, I tell you. 

 

WE GET IT! YOU RIDE SS. 

 

 

I think you have the same completely irrational reaction when you see the letters 'SS' as I do when I see completely bog average people talking about watts and race weight and spouting inspirational quotes about 'going out there and achieving'... Sometimes though just read what they have to say.

 

In this thread it IS relevant. No one is knocking on your door saying 'sell your gears, shave your head, put your hand in a bag and become a HariSS'... people are emphasizing that you don't need the latest greatest shiniest bling to enjoy riding bikes and be semi good at it.

 

But like I said, I get it.... it grates your carrot.

I really don't mind all this overpriced, over hyped latest and greatest.

Consumerism, and all the dick swinging as a result thereof, means that people with more sense than money can buy last year's tech at good prices.

I love the Hub. 5 pages of various reasons and responses to the expensive parts, then a guy goes and posts a R25k goupo for sale :ph34r: :lol:  . Bad luck that he didn't see this thread...

I love how SRAM has screwed consumers who are being screwed by their rubbish exchange rates/local bike shops by preventing online sales to various countries. No attempt to offer better prices despite the protection given to local bike shops either. Maybe they'd rather just not sell their products at all, because I simply won't buy their products here as a result...

How do you know if someone crossfits, eat vegan raw, or have a singlespeed...

 

 

was going to like your posts as I don't currently own a MTB SS .... .then realised I own a SS commuter, a SS commuter that is currently running fixed with both front and rear brake, inc. the fixed wheel = 3 x brakes .... :P

problem I have is that I bought an SRAM GX 11spd set up just before they went loco and stopped one buying their good online from international dealers ..... and to be honest ... I really like the GX Groupo, and it has been treating me well!

...or went to Bishops...

easy...they will be in the cross fit t-shirt, at the vegan restaurant sipping on a decaf skinny latte with their S-Werx next to them telling you all the above?
