SRAM / RS / Avid / Truvativ Components: (what you ride and any comments) I’m ridind Sram transmission, RS suspension, Avid Brakes and Tuvativ component on my bikes. I really like the way they feel and the way they works. As a mechanical ingenior it’s important for me to ride with the best thing I can get.

Thanks SRAM, RS, Avid and Truvativ to make the stuff we need.
