Hahah I laughed so hard when I saw this...
I know this is a little messed up and respect to all Japan and it's people, But have the Enola Gay dropping the Sram X0's on Shimano's factory in japan...
That has nothing to do with my comment. I meant for a new idea, completely different from Germans/etc. But Sram's rivalry with Shimano would be fitting imo, you get what I'm saying?
When those cogs went flying through the air they'd cut you up like a prize ham.
Later they were dug up and were found to be excellent for providing a variable gear ratio!
