TNT1 Posted September 15, 2021 Share I filled up with petrol yesterday. With the price per litre, that feels like a brag, especially since the needle was way below 1/4... Sneaky_Turtle, Redrush, Scary Rider and 5 others 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I use 20 to 50 bucks on fuel for the week, including driving around on weekends. Whats the fuel cost now to run a 750cc?

Rolf Hansen Posted September 16, 2021 Share Might not seem like much but for some reason my bike did not want to go without it. Super chuffed that I will be able to ride again this weekend. Trashy and Frosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted September 17, 2021 Share Recently bought one of these: https://archercomponents.com/ Absolutely love it, shifting is a pleasure and perfect every single time. Much cheaper than both Shimano & Sram wireless products. imho, better solution than Di2 that still require electrical wiring (to "replace cables") and with AXS still the ultimate solution but at a hefty price point.

Did you purchase these locally or bring them in? What does the setup cost if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted September 17, 2021 Share I ordered directly from them. $369.0 - $55.35(Discount) + $48.92(Shipping) + R904.65 (Import Duties) = ~ R6.2k I had it in the cart for a day or so and they emailed and offer the discount to conclude the transaction.

Someone GAVE one of these away a couple of weeks ago on the hub. Was gutted I missed it. What's the shifting speed like? I read a few reviews saying it was a little slower than mechanical shifting.

I read a few reviews saying it was a little slower than mechanical shifting. Really for free? Wow. Maybe it was the first version (DX1) the second revision (DX1 Trail) does shift a bit faster apparently. The SRAM AXS is definitely faster don't know about Di2. Compared to a cable shifter, shifting is so smooth that I can honestly not "feel" that it is slower than a cable shifter. Remember the derailleur mechanism is near linear but do have some non-linear behavior on the "outer gears". A cable shifter can not account for that, it pull the same amount for each and every shift. Hence cable shifting can be very good, but will never be "perfect". Believe me this is so smooth because its very close to perfect. For the first time ever I do not cringe to shift under load.
