I certainly don’t know anyone who’s bought any top end Sram stuff aftermarket. Honestly, I’m not just saying that for the sake of internet point scoring.
I’ve got a XX1 equipped bike. When the stuff wears it’ll likely get replace with this stuff.
You got to remember the audience for this stuff. It’s either XC racers on their best race bike, in which case it’ll last because it’s being used once a month for thirty miles. Or it’s lucky sods like my who got a decent bonus and after twenty years want a really nice bike. Again, it’s one of several bikes so overall usage is low.
Top end stuff has always been silly money. In 1995 XTR was double the cost of XT for a full group.
Porsches are more expensive than Mondeos and pointless comparisons are pointless comparisons.
