Chain Reaction Cycles Won't Sell You Shimano Parts if You're in North America
Give shops think they are charities they are businesses. It's called competition and a failure to be creative in your business to make money is your problem not the customers. LBS constantly try to guilt trip customers when the solution is taking advantage of the crc environment. LBS' efforts are still trying to drain the ocean with a spoon. Thankfully the bad bike shops will still go out of business.

$150 CADI have a procore system for sale. I used it for a season worked perfectly. If you need to protect a great set of rims then this is for you. Typically sells for 400 so this is a great deal.

XTR 9100 is Here - How Did it Remain So Secret?
@nojzilla: the brakes as well there's different systems for brakes. Just because one system doesn't it one way you can't moan that the other system is different.

XTR 9100 is Here - How Did it Remain So Secret?
@nojzilla: so shimano 10sp shadow and shadow plus is 6mm from largest cog same with sram (fundamentally more important on sram). Older shimano rear mech as close as possible sram still 6mm. 11sp shimano 11-40 & 11-42 3-6mm sram 14mm. 11sp shimano 11-46 is 6-9 mm sram 14mm. 12sp sram 12mm as general rule need to consider sag. Fronts are very similar but they vary about 0.5 mm

XTR 9100 is Here - How Did it Remain So Secret?
@nojzilla: anyone saying that sram is not very rugged doesn't set it up correctly. Ive worked with many mechanics and when they say oh sram sucks they always set it like shimano and then are stunned when it doesn't work. Also anyone convinced that they know how to set something up yet millions of people have zero issues tells me you set sram like shimano.

@nojzilla: its weird because sram stuff is robust and stable you just have to follow instructions. Hey you know setting it up like shimano then moaning it doesn't work like shimano works to....i guess.

@Powderface: I'm a bike mechanic and i honest to god hate shimano. Once you take the time to learn setup of both systems sram is better. Usually anyone who hates sram think that because they set it up like shimano and in stunning turn of events it doesn't work like shimano therefore it must suck. It honestly blows my mind how people can't even consider that the issue is them.

@IllestT: except of course 11 speed had all sorts of issues with noise that sram didn't. I see what you're saying though. Sram sucks because it doesn't set up and work like shimano, it makes perfect sense.
