MORNE Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Pointless.hardly..the reasoning is sound imo...as per the video. if you are only always going down and do SOME pedalling...you don't really need 12 gears.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 hardly..the reasoning is sound imo...as per the video. if you are only always going down and do SOME pedalling...you don't really need 12 gears.Stronger chains. Less wear (therefore more km before replacement). More margin for error ito setup. Cassette looks pretty. That's reason enough, IMO...
Grease_Monkey Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Pointless. Pointless post. As with most things, it's going to work for some applications, some not. Saying this is pointless because it won't work for your riding is like me saying an XC race bike is useless because I can't do downhill with it.
MORNE Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Stronger chains. Less wear (therefore more km before replacement). More margin for error ito setup. Cassette looks pretty. That's reason enough, IMO... not to mention 9 speed chains basically grow on trees these days. They are so cheap now....you could basically gooi a new one every month I like it...and would defo want to try it. ....."Its 368g weight is actually pretty damn close to SRAM's 12-speed XX1 Eagle that weighs a mere 8g less "
Martin PJ Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Is it me or having the phrase 'budget friendly 9 speed drive train' and then selling a cassette for $359.99 a little weird? That's R5,300+ for the cassette and over R9,000 for a shifter, cassette and Rear mech. For that money you can get a 1x11 XT groupset with shifter, cassette, mech crank and chain and see money, a Box 1 wide range 11sp and save a lot more and even on le hub there is a guy that has 11sp 1x with brakes for less. I'm not seeing the budget-friendly bit. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32858975430.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.1.59da5075kRtMIq&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.139618.0&scm_id=1007.13339.139618.0&scm-url=1007.13339.139618.0&pvid=258cb949-c505-4b9c-9779-f73ff2bae627 Popular item on Aliexpress it seems. You could also pick up the 9 speed shifter and derailleur for around 30 USD.

Yo-Yo Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 You need more, you need more, you need more. ker-ching $$$. Great. News Flash: You need less now. Ker-ching $$$$.

I ran a NW 9 speed for a while. Went back to triple because I didn't have enough gears at the back. This cassette would be perfect. It comes with a free derailleur extender.

Not sure the derailleur would be able to handle the massive 50T?
Martin PJ Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Not sure the derailleur would be able to handle the massive 50T?There is a free derailleur extender that comes with the cassette. This does help a bit.
