PregoRoll Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Just out of curiosity, Would you put your hard earned Randollas down to buy a drivetrain from a company other than Shimano or SRAM? http://www.boxcomponents.com/
AlanD Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 For sure. These box components look the business
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Although, these things look seriously cool!The shifter is innovative, and the ability to rebuild it is priceles. The last time someone built a rebuildable shifter was what? Like '08 Ergos?

Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 2011-2014 11spdRebuildable as in 'this spring is broken, luckily I have its model number and can order it on its own'?
Malpiet Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Rebuildable as in 'this spring is broken, luckily I have its model number and can order it on its own'?I havent broken a spring and not sure if a spring is even available for 11spd but it can be repalced as i have stripped mine apart to reburbished the levers and greased up everything again courtesy of a youtube video. I also took the RD completely apartment and re-assembled it with new grease however i couldn't remove the pivot bolt (apparently its a 2 piece jobbie) that needs a specific tool which i cant get hold of anywhere.
The expat cyclist Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 The thing that I found odd was the description about SRAM and Shimano. The narrator refered to SRAM as light and clicky and Shimano as heavy and clunky...To me it is the other way around... Anyway, the answer for me is no. I will stick to what works. Shimano cassettes and chains. SRAM shifters and RD. Why change if what you have does the job?
Bizkit031 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Yes. Campagnolo Campy don't even do a mtb setup so they are out and will never be in.

SRAM = heavy and clunky; Shimano = light and clicky. Both work great, but have very different shift feels.

Been there, done that

Grease_Monkey Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 If I build a bike from scratch I'm definitely going to be using this drivetrain. Hopefully we will see them used as OEM parts soon.
