Unfortunately I have an injury that means I need the button shifting.

"However, it's rocking some dated clutch technology that makes the $35 price jump to the 7200 models seem like a no-brainer." lol wut? I would pay $35 extra to have the old shimano clutch instead of the dual spring.

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...

That is literally the exact opposite of flickable. Also long chainstays doesn’t give you more leverage over your rear wheel, the opposite is true. Also, long chainstays ftw

Definitely a consideration. Those fenders are annoyingly loud.

5/28/2026 6:51am

I’m getting a very loud clunk in my new grip x2 38. Almost sounds like a harsh bottom out but I’m not bottoming out. It often happens when I’ve got the front loaded and I hit a hole or compression. I can replicate a quieter version just by applying the front brake/blocking the wheel and rocking it back then forwards...

Not to mention a simple issue like “front end harshness” could be caused by countless different things, some of which aren’t even the suspension

I think the issue is not being able to establish what the problem is because your riding isn’t consistent enough and therefore you don’t actually know what you are trying to fix. No one wants to try to problem solve a problem that they can’t even read. You shooting in the dark, unsure about the validity of potential solutions, and...

Size M frame rider here. I’ve had numerous bikes from 438-450 mm chain stays. Short chainstays (Firebird) makes it easy to loop out backwards but when standing and pedalling you get good traction. 443 chainstays on a high pivot (Range) was an absolute machine climbing. Traction for days in all situations. 450 chainstays (Rallon) tends to spin out, loose traction...

5/23/2026 8:43am

If someone made a lever that was close to your bar while set in the furthest out position on the reach adjustment, that would be amazing. The Saints feel quite spongy when adjusted really close to your bars, which is unfortunate because that’s where we want them to be.

I 100% guarantee what you are hearing is the metallic clank of the hub engaging. When you get used to the soft engagement of the onyx, a classic style and slower hub is jarringly loud. The slower/less POE means there is more momentum going into the hub engaging, therefore louder. if you pack it full of grease it will be...
