I remember that one. Let's just hope Shimano decides to do it!kev1n wrote: Could just be a custom. Sicklines did something alot like this awhile back so it could just be that.

come on! shed some light on this thing! does it have the same tension switch as the XC derailleur? if so, why not just have it in mega-tight mode all the time? wheel removal?craigglaspellphoto wrote: I have ridden this, it is the greatest thing to come from the bike industry in a while.

I thought the Intense M9 was the greatest thing to come from the bike industry in a while.craigglaspellphoto wrote: I have ridden this, it is the greatest thing to come from the bike industry in a while. Seriously rad.

Fyi, you only turn the adjustment to off when you are installing/removing a wheel. It should be on at all other times. This really is pretty cool, and not some gimmicky "piece of crap" as you so unknowingly put it. Don't bag it before you try it.bootleg randy wrote: ...the greatest thing to come from the bike industry in a while...WHAT!!!
Awesome, more small parts to turn on/off, and break! What a piece of crap!!
Finally, Shimano makes a short cage for XTR...Sram did that years ago

You said it, not me...and I sure as shit have not gone around with marketing bullsh1t like that. I think we make awesome bikes, never put a stupid label on any bike we make like you said.craigglaspellphoto wrote: I have ridden this, it is the greatest thing to come from the bike industry in a while.

Dynasys, a blunder?!? Personally, I think the 10 speed stuff shifts better than their 9 speed ever did. The XTR Rapidfire Plus shifters are brilliant. You can shift them exactly like Sram, and I particularly like when you shove the forward paddle all the way and it upshifts 2 gears... Sram for years myself BTW.MDJ wrote: ^^ haha, I didn't mean to imply that you did label it as such, but I'm sure we both agree that Intense is puttng out some good product.
And I agree on the derailleur even if I haven't ridden it yet. I've been on SRAM for years now and this is probably the first thing they've done that would make me think about switching back - even after their dynasys 3 ring blunder (imo)

Yes, the word is out about the new long cage XTR. This short cage prototype? Nope.craigglaspellphoto wrote: You said it, not me...and I sure as shit have not gone around with marketing bullsh1t like that. I think we make awesome bikes, never put a stupid label on any bike we make like you said.
That being said, I thought the news on this derailler was out and about, I guess its still top secret, but I will stand behind what I said: I have not been excited about most bike parts in years, this is a game changer part I think...wish it were my idea.

Their insistance on the 3 chainring part is what I meant by the blunder. 10sp - yes!! For the front I'm good with one or two chainringsMDJ wrote: ^^ haha, I didn't mean to imply that you did label it as such, but I'm sure we both agree that Intense is puttng out some good product.

Here's what a Kaiser looks like that you can actually buy:Uncle Cliffy wrote: Not gonna lie. I want it.

On a different note, what´s that tube around the shifting line for? Any ideas? As for the mech, I sort of don´t care as long as it isn´t out on the market ... but when it is, I´d like to see a review on Vital
