I also have the xt medium clutch RD and 32t upfront and was considering the wide range cassette but since you having trouble, patches comments are worth looking at. Does it shift throught gear at all? Perhaps a longer b-tension screw is needed?
So the RAD is a replacement cage for the xt medium cage to improve shifting and not an entire RD? If the 40t works with the medium cage but has sluggish shifting, would the weekend warrior really notice a guge difference? Although precise shifting is sublime,will the cost of upgrade/replacement be worth it for the average rider?
As it is for me. Its ugly,real ugly, but at the end of the day the simplicity of it has more advantages over its look and if you can overcome that then you golden but the question is, can you?
I would think it should last a long time with a bit of maintenance here and there. No seals to replace regularly or fluid or bleeding. Seems like a winner all round, except how it looks????. Function over for though I guess.
Thanks for the feedback. Was just concerned about the tubless setup but seems its not a problem if taped up correctly. Bike looks really cool with them on.
Great, will be sure to check them out. Any chance you could post a pic of them on your bike. Sorry for all the questions man, just trying to get a good idea :-)
So I got the ibex/canis combo (2.25 FR) but looking at getting a new set of rims but the options for 26er rims is limited. Was keen on the WTB Frequency I23 but cannot get them here but in see chain reaction has a few left but not sure if its worth the money importing them. Any suggestions on good Trail/AM 26er rims available locally that wont break the bank? Tubeless also.
Ok cool. Glad it helped you position. I remember when I changed to a shorter stem, was so good and had more control and the bike just went where I wanted it to go and I felt like a better rider that I actually am...hahaha
