11/8/2025 5:13am I've really been loving my V2 Guerrilla Gravity Gnarvana. It shares many similarities with the V3 Transition Sentinel in terms of geo like the 450mm chainstays, 430mm seat tube length on size 3, 347mm bb height, 160mm rear travel, 1273mm wheelbase. I also own a V2 Sentinel in loam gold and I feel like the V3 Sentinel combines the best...

11/5/2023 5:29pm I'm pretty certain that Transmission doesn't "know" anything about position of ramp cogs. The system has a stiffer chain, more precise alignment between the derailleur and cassette, more force from the derailleur, and a refined ramp pattern. When you queue up multiple shifts, you immediately hear the bzzt bzzt bzzt of the derailleur moving, then the chain works it's way up/down the cassette. If it knew where the ramps were, you'd click click click, then it would break up the bzzt as gears changed. XTR shifting in my experience is quicker if you time shifts. T-Type (I have on an...
