Sachs- SRAM improved - I’ll take your word for it, chains, I suppose? Sachs was mostly irrelevant otherwise.
Avid- SRAM back burnered / degraded over time? - SRAM brakes are pretty awesome, the Avid name was discontinued a long time ago for good reason.
RockShox- No idea if they have gotten better or worse after SRAM purchase - they’ve continued to push Fox, Öhlins et al and have a ton of OEM spec. The new SID platform is fantastic.
Truvativ - back burnered for sure, but no big loss.
Quarq- No idea - doing very well and super reliable.
Zipp- No idea, Zipp always seemed to have reliability problems. I don’t think they’ve stopped innovating since the purchase. I don’t think their hubs are any worse, though, which is a low bar.
