jimmycool Posted March 26, 2016 Share Yes it is easier to drop a chain hence 1xI mean to shift from a big chainring to a small chainring in 1 shot while under load is a lot quicker than trying to shift up the cassette while pedaling hard on a sudden unexpected incline.

Bobbo_SA Posted March 26, 2016 Share Actually looks like everything is normal 11x stuff and only using the cassette. Edit. Autocorrect issue Edited March 26, 2016 by Bobbo_SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycool Posted March 26, 2016 Share I have in fact broken a chain when suddenly changing to an easier gear at the back when hitting a sudden unexpected incline but have never had any trouble changing down at the front in a similar situation. I guess the thing is to find what works for you and what you like riding and then go with it.For me I love my triple chainset thanks.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2016 Share So the gold "bling" is optional? Gold one is XX1 Eagle, black is X01Actually looks like everything is normal 11x stuff and only using the cassette. Edit. Autocorrect issue Erm, no. Everything is Eagle. Definitely all Eagle. Look at the red cage inner, and the larger lower pully, as well as the new chainring. That's definitely the new one. Also, the recessed cage-lock and the hex-head clutch adjustment thing is a dead giveaway. Edited March 26, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptor-22 Posted March 26, 2016 Share I mean to shift from a big chainring to a small chainring in 1 shot while under load is a lot quicker than trying to shift up the cassette while pedaling hard on a sudden unexpected incline. And as I said dropping the chain and having zero drive has a higher probability hence 1x. with 1x11 and gripshift I can use the whole range of the cassette very quickly. And lastly, Even whenI used flippy shifters and rapid rise, I didn't have problems with "surprise hills". I did have problems with dropped and jammed chains (between chain stay and chainring) and since I've engineered Shimano FD to work with SRAM shifters reliably, even with systems designed to work together dropped chains are just a reality on a full suspension MTB in the heat of battle. Hence......1xbye bye dropped chains,no more broken chainsMy team mate broke a chain during a stage race. Yip 2x system. Never seen a rider break a chain with 1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2016 Share all is eagle. ..Good is just a special treatmenT. ...and more costlyboth XX1 & X01 are Eagle. Eagle is their name for 12sp systems. XX1 is Gold themed, X01 is red. So it looks as if Jerome is running solid X01 Eagle. Edited March 26, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Bobbo_SA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor-22 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Yes Jeroe is running XO1 Eagle because its more focussed toward AM and Enduro due to the tougher crank Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted March 26, 2016 Share That dinner plate looks ridiculous, I wonder how much it costs? $360 to $420 Almost the same as their new crankset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2016 Share $360 to $420 Almost the same as their new cranksetCassette – $360 | €392 | £302Yes, it's expensive. But it's the same price (almost) as the current X01 / XX1 cassettes, and it's their top of the line option. It was never going to be cheap, with the amount of machining that goes into it. If you want a cheaper one, wait until the GX level one comes out, or just go for the 11speed e-13 cassette (9-44) at $309. It's clear that you're a hater, and you don't understand the reasoning behind it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
