Does anyone want to be a guinea pig?

Do you know if they are cross compatible with SRAM or Shimano shifters ?

 

[ozzybmx]

A quick google says they are compatible with Shimano mountain.

Guinea pigging done...

Trying to be gone of my last remaining NX groupsets, it doesn't matter on the fatbike as it doesn't get ridden (brand new NX 12) but my hardtail has NX 11, was going well until #2 son borrowed it while his Canyon Derailleur hanger was in transit... drops it on a landing and bends the hanger slightly and scuffs the mech.

I cant get it back feeling the way it was, haven't looked too hard but probably bent the derailleur too.

Will change the cable and see how that goes.

No point buying more shit stuff but it may have been an option in the absence of Shimano XT word wide.

Problem #2 is it's a SRAM NX 11 shifter.

Ah well, I'll put up with shit-shifting until XT appears again.

IMO - Cheap torque wrenches are a false economy.

That 27.5 must have been a tight fit.

That 27.5 must have been a tight fit.

I want to call BS. Not tons of clearance with a decent 26 on mine, though year models may have varied.

 

[moorey]

Looking back on some pics, I retract. The almost looks like more clearance on my totem with 2.4 26, than 27.5 lyriks with same 26” tyre.
