Right. But I’m not comparing t type to eagle while shifting under load and I’m not comparing t type to xtr for durability. Nor am I talking about shifting speed. Shimano’s big selling point was shifting under load and it does it extremely well. As far as I can tell, it shifts under load just as good as T Type...
I came from XTR 12 speed and now have XO T type. While T type satisfactorily shifts under load, there is no way it is any better than XTR. It still pops and pings and makes some shitty noises when you are really hammering on it, just like XTR. To be clear, they are both really good at shifting under...

He’s suggesting that the benefits of electronic suspension would offset the negatives of pedalling with a high pivot bike. People complain about pedalling a high pivot bike. But if other parts of the bike were more efficient, and it brought you to an acceptable level of efficiency of current bikes, would people complain less?
I just got some Hayes Doninions. Coming from a Saint caliper/ XT lever previously. I ride in a steep and fast area. I love the lever feel and the power is great most of the time. The problem I’m having is they seem to overheat and glaze quite quickly. I’m running Hayes metallic pads and 203mm d3 discs. Any thoughts...

It seems like there are a number of people that swear the clutch sucks and lots of people that think it’s amazing. What variables would factor into a drivetrain being noisey? I’d assume anyone commenting about the noise has done basic silencing tricks. I thinking more like: Suspension design Hub design Riding style

99% sure. The clutch only has like 2 pounds of resistance. Shimano can be set up with what feels like 15lbs. There’s no way to change tension eh?

The issue is it sucks. Hyperbole aside, I’m running an X0 T Type drivetrain and it is surprisingly loud. It feels to me like the clutch on a transmission derailleur is quite weak. I’m used to running a shimano clutch very stiff. It’s noisy as hell. I’ve already got an Ochain and stfu damper top and bottom but it does...

We considered them for our trail crew but people were hesitant since they didn’t actually see the rack in person. They also debated whether there were many days that you’d actually bike in with lots of tools for one day of work. Vesus walking in with tools, stashing them, and biking in the subsequent days. I thought the bike and...
You’ve obviously ridden short Cs bikes and agree they are easier to break loose and move the rear around. A simple explanation is because a slight weight shift forward unweights the rear far more than any weight distribution from fc:rc and a short rear end is obviously easier to move than a long one because it is closer to your...
I doubt that would be enough to silence a chain. Currently am riding an xo TType with one upper and one lower stfu chain damper and it is frustratingly loud. Is it just me or does the Ttype clutch kind of suck? My question is, do you need to add links if you put on a roller chain guide like...
