Nick Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 First Look Friday is an introduction to the gear that we are currently testing for review. This week we've got Corse's Dopamine rims and hubs, the Garmin eTrex Touch 35, and Sexy Socks.Click here to view the article
AlanD Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Please educate me on this Hub: The part with the grooves/channels where the cassette goes on only features a small section close to the actual hub rather than the whole free body being grooved/channeled for the cassette. then there is a section that looks threaded and the rest features recesses. Never seen this before. Does it require a special cassette? Or have I just been living under a rock with regards to MTB innovations? JFOXK69 and freeridephil 2
no calves Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Please educate me on this Hub: The part with the grooves/channels where the cassette goes on only features a small section close to the actual hub rather than the whole free body being grooved/channeled for the cassette. then there is a section that looks threaded and the rest features recesses. Never seen this before. Does it require a special cassette? Or have I just been living under a rock with regards to MTB innovations?That is to mount SRAM XD casettes. its to cater for the 10tooth 11th gear The Lockring is now basically a sleeve that treads on further in. Hope this answers your question freeridephil and AlanD 2
freeridephil Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Hi Alan, The driver shown is a XD driver, catering to SRAM cassettes. Both the traditional Shimano and SRAM options are available. You're able to view both on the instagram feed. AlanD and The_Eagle 2
stefmeister Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Those are XD freehud/driver body for sram 1x11 (10-42) or 1x12 (10-50) cassettes. AlanD and Capricorn 2

Spoke101 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Ok right, got it. Thanks all In other words, you've been living under a rock. dirtypot and AlanD 2
AlanD Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 In other words, you've been living under a rock. Haha, yeah was surprised no one said that. I have Only changed shimano cassettes before...eish.
NickGM Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I am continually amazed at the near-infinite market for expensive cycling socks.
deonkretch Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Why not arrange a test ride, you might be pleasantly surprisedAgreed. Riding a 2.3 Icon on a South Industries rim for the front wheel - and it is perfect!!
