Riiiiiight, I'll try not get into this. But aye, cassettes are shite.
But I run Sram code rsc on mountain bike and sram red hydro no issues! Most folk fail to follow bleed procedure correctly.
Sram caliper seals servicable... Shimano say buy new one when leak :( -
If Sram sorted cassettes and their crap disc brakes I might think differently.
And the front derailleurs, front hubs (third time's a charm, double recall bonus), brake lever seals, crankset bolts...

Interesting, do you think it's likely to actually happen though?
I prefer Shimano through using it pretty much since day one, Shimano shifting does, to me, feel better than Sram in road and mountain bike. (I say this as someone who currently runs sram on road bike and mtb)
Edit - I think the shifting is down to Shimano cassettes being superior and having decades more r&d behind them. If Sram sorted cassettes I might think differently.
Wouldn't sram be shooting themselves in the foot if they licensed it? It might impact sales of their own etap/axs stuff.
Do you know of any cross licensing patent agreements that currently exist between Sram and Shimano in other areas? Would be interesting to know if they do co-operate in some areas.
