seems like an awful lot of "good luck"
Look, your anecdotal evidence does not convince me that my, personal, anecdotal evidence isn't true. Everything sram I've owned has been really good, except when it leaked oil. Out the seals, or the top cap, from the damper to the lowers, or even out the bottom. When it works it can be good stuff, and it's so cheaply made that they will probably just send you a new one when it breaks, but I prefer not to gamble on large purchases.

Next you'll tell me that you prefer sram shifting to shimano.

I had an early one. It went the full 2 year interval. I sent it in for service (canada, 6weeks and $120 door to door) and they just sent me a new one.

Oh yeah, my juicies were the only brake of mine that leaked oil that weren't hope.
That's impressive considering they don't even contain oil to begin with.
SRAM: so good at leaking, our products will materialize substances to leak if they have to.

no, I missed out on the deal and decided that 400 was a bit much to spend right now, as there's other shit I want.

There is a slick deal on a reverb stealf for 300 right now.

in a single wide, cooking meth...
Sram is just a front company for Exxon so they can leak oil into the environment in a slower, more discreet way. :tinfoil:

That said, both my Reverbs have been flawless other than a small, unnoticeable about of play. But I do take care to make sure I don't ride around jagged rocks on the Alaskan coastline.

In hell. Welcome!
My 1st Reverb died 11 months into service, SRAM sent me a warranty replacement that has been going strong for almost two years now (knocks on wood). :nerd:
