SRAM announces new XX top-end off-road components

[GoLefty!!]

Dirt rider,

 

20mm bolt thru with Maxle axle is faster and easier to fit than a QR.

 

it's also a lot stronger than a 15mm axle for not much weight penalty.

 

QR15 may become the std for front and rearin the future though.

Yip. Even Fox's 20mm "QR" is quick enough. Multi-tool is a bit of a pain in the ass, but how often do you okes take the front tyre off?

 

20mm QR has been going for a good couple of years Dirt rider.

I know , I got one on my bike but the Manitou jobby . I don't remove my wheel that often and even if I do remove it , it is very easy and fast .

Lefty....You mention Nicolai and you've mentioned being in contact with him before.

 

What's the deal with the 2x drive system they're developing? The system that's similar to the Hammerschmidt?

 

Also' date=' a friend is a regular customer of theirs and when he recently changed his G-Boxx freeride bike for their Ion DH bike, they suggested he not get the G-Boxx II but rather get the standard derailleur type drivetrain and 'wait' before going to G-Boxx again.....found that rather interesting that they'd suggest a customer not get their own system, especially as he was a big fan of his previous G-Boxx?

 

What do you know?

Well how does a 12kg, 120mm travel marathon/trail bike with 2x9, 2x10 or 2x12 internal gearbox sound to you?

 

nuff said.

 

Nice
