Box One 11-Speed Rear Derailleur

Long-Term Review Box One 11 speed Rear dérailleur (Product Review)

The Good

It’s easier to clean the jockey wheels than on Shimano rear derailleurs, due to the more open design, the jockey wheels are more exposed & the lower is bigger. The cage swings very smoothly You can fully take it apart, as the swing arms have E clips, so removing them is easy with a screwdriver, So...

The Bad

The spring tension is too high. The Clutch is not adjustable, so when it wears you can't regain hte same performance, But the new version has adjustable clutch.

Overall Review
Going from Xt m8000 with uncut 116 link Kmc x11 Sl silver chain, I had to add 5 links, due to the bigger tension pulley, but with 34T Oval I could use stock chain length.

I wish all Rear derailleurs fully serviceable. But the Top pulley is also more exposed, and easier...

Box One Top Load Stem

Great stem to really dial your bike fit with. (Product Review)

The Good

Top load design helps raise overall bar height when there isnt any more room on the steer tube to do so. Also available in multiple lengths to extend your reach. Top.laod design looks cool and has a BMX vibe to it.

The Bad

Stainless or To bolts may be better because top laid design can hold moisture and sweat in the bolt recesses.

Overall Review
Great stem that looks awesome and opens up more fitment options especially to a DJ/4x slope bike.
