Shimano 12sp ring and chain seem only compatible with each other from my research a few months ago. I wanted 11sp on the new shimano DM cranks, so I fitted Bergtec DM ring, which plays nice with 11sp chain.Sram 12 spd chain with shimano 12spd drive train, yay or nay?
Shimano cassette with GX crankset yay or nay?
Thinking it might to go for commonality across the fleet...
I used to work for Carrier when it was part of United technologies (which included Pratt & Whtney and Sikorski). Did a 5 day quality course which included quality leaders form all of the companies. Was surprised to learn the acceptable percentage of inflight shut downs from Pratt & Whitney...Yeah, that wouldn't be a good feeling!
Makes me laugh though how they always list the model of plane, but never the engine manufacturer/model... Boeing cops it for something either the engine manufacturer or maintenance squad are responsible for!
From some of the setups I've seen through work, you can run other chains on a Shimano ring, although the grip on the teeth may be less than optimal. But you can't run a Shimano chain on a ring that isn't specifically designed for it.Shimano 12sp ring and chain seem only compatible with each other from my research a few months ago.

The crank/cassette is fine.

Full Shimano 12 spd works perfectly - shift quickly and easily under load both up and down - putting it on my new bike as it’s that goodWhat I’m hearing is, cuss 12sp.
And you’ll sell it off for something shinier in weeks.Full Shimano 12 spd works perfectly - shift quickly and easily under load both up and down - putting it on my new bike as it’s that good
Would go wireless in a heartbeat if it drops below $10000And you’ll sell it off for something shinier in weeks.

11sp for the win. Don’t drink the kool aide.I’m waiting for that day
11 speed is far from dead, I have been sipping a bit of kook aide though. They got the 10-45 cassette right11sp for the win. Don’t drink the kool aide.
I played with 10-46, have gone back to 10-42 with no regrets. It just works too well.11 speed is far from dead, I have been sipping a bit of kook aide though. They got the 10-45 cassette right
It's all way fancier than anything I have, so I can't answer you based on experience.Ok... if there is, what is the difference between Rockshox Lyrik Charger 2 vs 2.1 RCT3? (Other than the extra 0.1).
And how can you tell which one you have? I can't use the serial number on the RS website as the CSU is a replacement.
500 hobos.Would go wireless in a heartbeat if it drops below $10000
Or five rounds of 100 hobos, assuming there’s no multi round discount.500 hobos.
These big rear cogs are a pain in the anus, I think I'd happily go 11-42T when I get the legs for it. I could always go with a 28T front chainring? Actually I wouldn't be too far off a 30T front -> 46T rear gear.I played with 10-46, have gone back to 10-42 with no regrets. It just works too well.
There is loads of this Charger stuff on MTBR to sift through. To summarise what I've seen, the Charger 2 is reported to have not so great LSC nor a wide range of LSC tuning available while the 2.1 fixed it. I have a 2 and it feels fine to me but don't have 2.1 to compare.Ok... if there is, what is the difference between Rockshox Lyrik Charger 2 vs 2.1 RCT3? (Other than the extra 0.1).
That is a good question. I don't know how you can visually pick the 2 and 2.1 apart if you don't have the RS Part ID handy. They sure look the same. I'd guess you would have to pull it apart and know where the differences are.And how can you tell which one you have? I can't use the serial number on the RS website as the CSU is a replacement.
What did those extra 4 teeth do to you. Not good shifting or you grew some track thighs and can climb and outrun anything now?I played with 10-46, have gone back to 10-42 with no regrets. It just works too well.
It did compromise my shifting slightly, but just found I generally didn’t need them for my riding. Will bang one back on for TransTas.What did those extra 4 teeth do to you. Not good shifting or you grew some track thighs and can climb and outrun anything now?
