HowellingWulf Posted December 5, 2010 Share 'sup Hubbers. Not really a product review but here is an interesting video of how the X0 compares to the XTR RD. Interesting how the XTR bounces all over the place whilst the X0 is reasonably stable. I wonder if it is noticeable whilst riding. SRAM man myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQf1bduGYs&feature=grec_index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevief Posted December 6, 2010 Share wow thats quite a difference, not sure what that means but it looks as if the shimano takes a lot of strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, the Shimano fans, argues that that is the reason that the SRAM RD's don't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted December 6, 2010 Share Only ridden SRAM3 and 5 and currently riding mix SLX/XT. I find the SRAM smoother and easier to change but the SLX/XT more precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyy Posted December 6, 2010 Share One of the main functions of RD is to absorb chain slap, so movement is good! (like a shock absorber, no use if it don't move...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowellingWulf Posted December 6, 2010 Share One of the main functions of RD is to absorb chain slap, so movement is good! (like a shock absorber, no use if it don't move...) Agree with you. The SRAM seems to have more of a forward and backwards movement on the pulley cage to take up slack where the Shimano moves all over the show.
