LourensD Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Couldn't possibly let a whole day go by without someone making a post in here. Perfection!
Craigwt Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 ^^^ Wicked !!What chain guide you running ?That Pike is the dogs danglies .. its the one that comes stock with the bike, like so: Perfection! Almost there, still need a stealth reverb, and to try out a narrow/wide with a 42t at the back.

FYI https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/131061-ultra-poormans-xx1/ I'm running a 10 speed 11-41t and Omega Man is running an 11-38
Guest Omega Man Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 My Enduro ride Sick. That's works raw right? I've got one in works black. Sek-shoo-Earl.
Guest Omega Man Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 FYI http://www.thehubsa....a-poormans-xx1/ I'm running a 10 speed 11-41t and Omega Man is running an 11-38Yeah. Loving it. If I could go back I'd maybe not go with the zee and get the xt or whatever but super duper happy. Bit of a ball ache to set up it has to be said.
Flowta Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah. Loving it. If I could go back I'd maybe not go with the zee and get the xt or whatever but super duper happy. Bit of a ball ache to set up it has to be said. Could have something to do with the short cage of the Zee. No mess, easy setup with my SLX derailleur, the Zee was VERY tricky to get the chain length right. Went back to the SLX. If anyone wants to buy a Zee derailleur let me know. Also have a set 3 x 10 Deore derailleurs (right shifter used prob about 4 times before I picked up an XTR lever, left shifter never used.) Also have an 9 speed SRAM X7 shifter if you want a SRAMano setup with the ZEE. (Best shifting system I've used actually) Have a SRAM X9 Type 2 RD in the box too.

Yeah I think you are right about the cage length of the Zee. I think a medium or even long cage would have been a better plan. I'm still getting a bit of slap with the Zee because of chain length issues. But the Zee looks so much cooler. That has to count for something right?

That has to count for something right? I have the same problem with me Saint clutch RD also short cage. I can not make the chain shorter because there is already no more pull when in the big ring at the back, but much chain slap when on the small....such a pain!
hayleyearth Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Perfection! I think if he makes a plan with that dropper post hose it could be closer to perfection yes

That has to count for something right? LOL, I buy stuff thinking, this is a bargain!!! I'll keep it for XYZ bike when I get it. I have built 2 bikes in the last year out of the spares box. Just added a frame (actually one was only half a frame) Those went off to happy homes

beanz Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Medium cage seems to be the happy medium.Short cage you have no room to manoevre with chain length, not enough tension when on the small back ring, and you probably need to put on a new chain if you change to a different front ring.Long cage you have a good chance of the RD hanging on the ground like deviate.
