Hairy Posted March 21, 2023 Share Just now, MORNE said: Its connected to a system weight of rider+bicycle. I have literally sheared off a shimano saint rear mech on rocks that happened to be in the right place at the right time. and thats a baby compared to the monsters bolted to bikes today. It sheared the hanger off and bent the ‘link’ on the mech, but easy fix with a new goat/roadlink. It looked ratty AF after that but bolted it back on and worked fine. id like to think im special, but really im not lol. But you are "special" DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken a frame or two, but never damaged a hanger. Shimano better pick up their game, or else they will be left just shifting gears on basic commuter and roadie bikes Your bikes dont use rear mechs? And the one that does you havent ridden in years by your own admission haha (YT) DieselnDust and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mass the derailleur will feel is its own weight plus a length of the chain Since it articulates. The system momentum won’t apply. a Saint rear derailleur protruded a lot further than our foot. I broke one off my Gemini before I fitted a SRAM X7 hearing system as replacement. Those old derailleur designs used a lot of real estate this new design tucks in very nicely even in the 10t sprocket it’s still protected by your foot. This type of impact is really very unlikely to happen without getting your foot involved Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverNotRolling Posted March 21, 2023 Share What's the problem with a traditional derailer anyway? Wake me up when we have AXS auto tyre deflation and inflation 🥱 dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rida my bicycle Posted March 21, 2023 Share The only good thing I saw was the new cassette finally something with better jumps still bigger than Shimano. 8t jump compared to 6t on shimano but better than the 10t jump of current.

Me rida my bicycle Posted March 21, 2023 Share And the new XO crank looks interesting. Not like any of these would be in the average persons budget so ja it looks interesting and that's about it ...

PhilipV Posted March 22, 2023 Share This is very streamlined and tucked away nicely. Maybe it will stay out of harms way. But the last time I broke a derailleur I felt the rock hit the underside of my foot, and take the derailleur out on the way back. This fancy one would not have made it. It seems that SRAM and frame makers have decided it’s better to have the rider’s wallet be the sacrificial item.
