I have been out of the techie loop for a while and was wondering is SRAM still made any of their stuff in the US?
My old ESP der. and shifters on my mtb was USA made, but that was a long time ago, prior to SRAM becoming such an international company.
Just thought I'd ask.
Regardless, Rival is calling my name.

I certainly hope that nothing is made in the USA!!! USA-designed or produced products are generally of low quality when compared with products of the same price made in other countries - in my opinion. Obviously, there is a lot of low quality, low price products made overseas.
I just got the Force group on my new Specialized. Since the front shifter doesn't have a trim adjustment, I can't help but to think it was designed in the USA - typical American oversight.

Clearly you are an idiot because your Force group and bike were designed in the USA. I am sure the folks formerly of Sachs had a roll in the groups, but yep SRAM and Specialized are American.
That's OK, I am so sure your Taiwan or China made bike is produced by much better craftsmen. (Please read sarcasm)
I asked a simple question. Most who post here are helpful. If you need to be an ass, go elsewhere.
Isn't Specialized designed here(USA) but made elsewhere?

Yes. This is true for many, many bicycle companies - SRAM, Cervelo, Surly, Ritchey, etc., etc.
