I dont see why It wouldnt work as its the shifter deciding how much movement happens. Im not confident to confirm that though, I went Advent MX Pro as it was cheap to try and I have not been disappointed, its interchangeable with linkglide parts

Bike comes with Shimano 12s mechanical. Thought once that wears out transitioning to 11s linkglide. Worth that in your opinion? Are the new RD-M8200 and RD-M8230 rear derailleurs interchange? Like could I use the 12 speed one for 11 speed linkglode with the correct shifter? Two for two on steel being real.

I use the SRAM direct mount one (aluminum carrier with steel outer ring). Lasts forever.

always Steel on an ebike... Both bosch and avinox motor systems are hard on drivetrains, Using linkglide or Advent MX pro 11 speeds are excellent and long wearing with Really good shifting performance.

I am not new to mtb by any means, but I do have on order my first ebike. I have heard that ebikes chew up chainrings. Do you all just replace with another aluminum one or go steel? Direct mount steel or 104bcd steel? Want your opinions! The ebike I will be getting uses Avinox m2. I am leaning towards...

I think so because towards the end of 2025 maxxis had a dhf2 page on their site for a couple days. It had a picture of the old dhf, but had a different description and rolling resistance/ traction chart.

The Madrone Jab with whatever shifter you want solves that issue. I've been on all the latest drivetrains from SRAM and Shimano, and the Jab blows them all out of the water in pretty much every aspect - price being the only outlier there.

I would assume that this derailleur does not have the new stiffer springs in it? Would like to hear a back to back comparison with the new springs.

Looks like that rider is also running the unreleased Maxxis DHX tire too.

There are apparently updated springs available for early Di2 XTR/XT models - Y3K798070. Instructions on how to change them out: https://si.shimano.com/en/dm/MARD011/replacing_plate_and_p_tension_spri…
