Although they have great made innovations like cage lock (that they urgently need to migrate to road groupsets), UDH, waterproof-easy to use-multi compatible-AXS system, the customer support doesn't suck....because it's non-existant. I had a brand new Rival AXS XPLR derailleur that was 'bricked' because of a buggy Sram AXS app. The problem ciculated on the internet for at least half a year before Sram did something about it (they don't answer to the questions and refer to the standard answers). I got the problem solved by using the app on a older Android version...after a long search on the internet (i had a old phone in the drawer). This happened one year an a half ago. Actually i wanted to comment on the faulty BB92/86 pressfit BB's that keep sucking up water & mud via the axle (and seize up). So after 4 years of using DUB i'll switch to Shimano 24mm cranksets in combo with third party chainrings. Sram doesn't listen to the users of their products. Only their own tests are of importance. ....and that's why they will never beat Shimano. So Sram service doesn't suck....it just doesn't exist. ...and the Rival derailleur's pivots were worn out after only 5 months of winter cyclocross (lot's of play). While i'm at it: Instead of removing the brake adjust from the Force brakes Sram should implement the brake adjust on all road and mtb brakes. Shimano can, so why can't Sram do this!?...it's a must have that makes cyclo life soooo much more easy (I use a Shimano xt brakeset on my Sram groupset mtb because if this). And while i'm at it 2: Why doesn't Sram able all the caliper bleed ports to be closed like on the Force and Red?! It's shameful that you have to let come the brake oil out of the caliper bleed port....after pressurizing the oil with the syringe!! Let these issues please please flow upward, all the way to the top of Sram development management.
