I picked up a hub on eBay recently that came with an off-brand 8sp cassette included. When I took it out of the box, I was unsurprised to see a decal on the lockring that said TAIWAN FALCON I G S, but when I peeled the label off I found a bit of a surprise underneath...
I would not be surprised if the only part of the assembly that's SRAM is the lockring itself, but I'm a little surprised that SRAM shipped them with their logo present.

SRAM making parts for Falcon? Don't you think it's more likely that Falcon is making parts for SRAM? Perhaps they made more SRAM lockrings than SRAM ordered and decided to use them in their own cassette.

Or more likely the subcontractor who makes that lockring makes it for a lot of customers, Falcon, SRAM, etc.

That's possible, I suppose. On closer inspection, the SRAM name is also on a label. I haven't peeled it to see what, if anything, might be under *that*. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts.
