Life Cycle? mwe he he he he he.
i think okey lang dahil sila ang distro, isasabay lang nila sa purchase nila yun. may warranty pa kaya less problems kesa sa ibang bansa ka bumili tapos may problem pagdating dito.

contact rapidfire cycles (riley chaves). he carries sram. medyo malayo lang sayo. his shop is near cash and carry.
try calling other LC branches like mindanao avenue, and moa.
no harm intended - imo, this is one of the reasons why i opted for shimano... apart from the significant price gap, it's a tough find in ph in certain occasions.

balak ko nga sir spy, kailangan ko pa pala ng driver body para magamit yung dating hubs. Yun nga lang mahirap sa lifecycle, yung driver body wala din sila. Tapos yung inorder nila na cogs for the NX is sram compatible only. SRAM made NX to be able to use the regular shimano hubs which was their strategy to take market share from shimano. So sad.

OT ng konti. Kasi I want to make a point. Dapat kasi yung mga bike brands medyo nagbababad sa forum. Wala silang makukuha sa Facebook. Yung format kasi ng facebook doesn't really promote learning. Magandang feedback sana sa kanila yung post ng TS.

hmm...i'm thinking yung mga stores ang kailangan makita ang forums. wala naman tayo magagawa sa bike manufacturers eh, they would push the limits of engineering for performance. pero kung ano ang available sa consumers, mga shops ang magdidikta nyan.

huge companies rarely or never lurk into forums to the point that you can't even drop them an email (eyes on shimano and sram)
the startups or the smaller to med sized ones are the ones who i find active (or at least lurk) in forums... 1up, absolute black, wolftooth, abloc, canfield, ODI, ks, hope, hayes to name a few. more often these companies have a very good CS and are quite responsive and can be as technical as hell if the need arises. i've engaged with a few of those i listed and did appreciate the knowledge transfer and exchange they provide.
as for new standards, i really don't get the point at times. in fact i find it rather irritating.
however, what pains me most is the lack of options in the ph market (my never ending rant)

I'm sorry, that's what I meant. Rockshox is represented here by Lifecycle. I used to work at an IT distributor and I would have my product manager actively support the product forums and user groups as part of our marketing efforts. We would get a lot of product feedback from the forums and it would help us get closer to the needs of the market. Sayang yung SRAM. They have a good product in the NX. It's supposed to perform as well as their high end models. Kaya lang dehins na market ng mabuti. Tapos walang shimano compatible cassette na pinarating yung distributor.

They also get feedback from forums. In fact there was a recently a rant at Mountain Bike Radio podcast and they got on the case as soon as they heard it. But Philippines is way too small and far for them to be monitoring. That's why this should be the responsibility of the distributor. That's how I would do it if I had to run that business. Small investment, big returns in the future. Sayang.

the way i see it, with the bigger brands. they'd have factory riders testing out new techs. have it rolled out in races for sponsored riders, usually at UCI sanctioned events. then release the new tech to the masses and have the older tech trickle down.
in essence, we're getting pro and race tested tech from hmm...4, 5 or 6 years ago in the entry and mid level equipment. the problem is the availability here. from what i see in the local market, just going to UP and Timberland, there's about 60-70% entry level bikes, 20% - 25% mid level, and the rest is top tier, or sometimes the top tier is even smaller.
as a bike shop owner, you need to choose your market well, otherwise you won't survive the business. and the way the demand is being pushed is towards entry to mid level bikes. only a few would actually invest in top shelf equipment, mostly those with cash to burn or those who race. i can't blame them, that's why normally i'd talk to the owner of the shop (that's why i befriend bike shops near me) and if I need a specific item, I'd ask if they can get it for me. Normally I need to wait for the next shipment but hey, at least I'll get it rather than waiting forever when it will become available.

anthrax76, you are correct there, I totally agree. I guess the problem will be predicting the demands of the customers or marketing a product to the point that it becomes a major consideration for the customer. In the case of SRAM NX, this is supposed to be the entry level SRAM drivetrain. It will cost less than an XT drive train and you are supposed to be able to mount it on shimano hubs and get 11-46T. But they did not bring in the shimano compatible casette. Instead, they got the ones that still needed the XD driver. This was SRAM's strategy to enter the low to mid market but it won't come to fruition here. The good thing about NX is unlike shimano, this is not technology from a few years back, this is their latest technology using cheaper materials--meaning its heavier. Another example is the Giant Dropper post, from what I've read its cheap and very reliable but the problem is its barely on stock. Anyway, its really hard to get stuck with old inventory that's why its hard to take a risk but there is a way around that also but its way out of the scope of this thread.
