That aircon place doesn't stock them locally so did what any normal person would do….get it yourself. Got the mech and shifter locally at 50% off…so far R3000 all in🤣 Let the testing begin i guess. Hefty claims of durability from shimano for linkglide compared to 12speed HG+. Also slightly heavier in the cassette department (100g) but its on a 16kg enduro bike so meh. It kind of shifts like transmission in the way its ‘pre-programmed’ to climb off in specific parts and therefore also slightly slower, like transmission. It doesn't just drop a chain instantly like normal 12speed systems - which chews up a cassette. All happens nice and civil. None of that shift shock —- grrrr CLANK! Also paired it with steel idler gears on the high pivot. Woohoooo! I’m an 11spd peasant again! ps: yes, thats s 12spd csixx cage. Exact fit as the normal 12spd xt.

MORNE Posted May 15 Share 20 minutes ago, thebob said: Can I ask where you got the groupset from? Between a few shops here in Cape Town. Evo bikes also has it listed. Just ask about stock. I was lucky to get the mech and shifter at -50% off. You get the LG600 casette locally. But thats a bit heavy. The latest one is the black LG700 casette with most of the gears on an alloy carrier. I got that abroad. Merlin. About 100g more than a SLX hg+ cassette. so far i have been super impressed. The shifting is so solid and smooth - even compared to hg+. I have not noticed the slightly slower shifting speed at all. As mentioned, it just climbs off in a very specific spot on the gear like Transmission. super happy with it. thebob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted May 17 Share 31 minutes ago, Ruben Hechter said: What chain are you using? ‘Normal’ Sram XX1 12 speed. Used it on the 12 speed shimano before this. Wasnt sure it will work since the link-glide cogs are wider at their base. Spacing also wider. I’ve always used 12 speed chains on normal 11speed though so wanted to check first. Didn't just want to buy new 11speed, especially since this high pivot bike takes more than a standard length chain and im already down the cost of two XX1’s haha. Turns out it works perfect.

Bike Dewing Posted July 23 Share Couple big things I have done to up my cycling experience and training.. You’ll notice the beautiful carbon wheel on the front,(thanks to Corrie.. 👍🏻) that’s new and amazing😃.. and then I’ve upped my training game with a flux S thanks to Mellow velo, who always come through for me.. can’t recommend them enough.. also a big shout out of appreciation to Matt and the bikehub crew who handled my situation I had while trying to buy a trainer with the pay system over the weekend, unfortunately the deal went south anyways.. Matt handled it with absolute professionalism and efficiency.. I was refunded in what’s probably record breaking time with regards to how refunds usually work🤣🤣🤣.. thank you again so much.!! this is why we trust the system.! 😘 Edited July 23 by Bike Dewing Pieterlab1, Chadvdw67, BuffsVintageBikes and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
