OK, this has probably been answered a zillion times, and I _did_ search, but I didn't see this specific, and very basic, question answered:
Lance chose SRAM. It says so on TV, so it must be true. Therefore, I need SRAM too. Uh...what IS SRAM? Do they make shifters, or do they make entire transmission systems like Shimano? Do bike have, say a Shimano derailleur and a SRAM shifter? Or is it more exclusive - do Shimano derailleurs really require Shimano shifters?
Oh, on a vaguely related question: I wonder why Versus didn't have a running status of peloton speed? They would refer to it, but it would have been interesting to see what the speed was at any given point in the race.
Same with watts...although I think it would have been easier to have displayed the output in HP instead of watts, but I guess I am missing something....
Thx!
