Rotor is your friend. Even the 10 speed Ultegra will work fine.So I need a new 34t SRAM red chainring. I can't find it from any Australian retailer, nor courtesy of the SRAM geoblock can I get it from OS. Fuck you, SRAM.
+1. Every opportunity I get to roast sram. Haven't bought anything sram for 18 months and counting. Two can play this game.Yeah sram can eat a bag of dicks
Never bought sram. Always had drama’s when I wrenched in a shop, truvativ hussefelt cranks can eat a bagfull. And the gearsets were sooooooo over rated.+1. Every opportunity I get to roast sram. Haven't bought anything sram for 18 months and counting. Two can play this game.
Luckily, they last for about 100,000km and rarely need replacing. Sometimes you just gotta spend money to save money.Holy shit, I thought you were kidding. I saw $550 for a 12sp cassette and nearly fell off my chair.
I am avoiding SRAM going forward, without international options they're hugely more expensive than their competitors in general.
Is there really any hard evidence the clustesrs last significantly longer though in real world usage though? They don't have an usual manufacturing method or materials that would make you expect a step change in wear life. From admittedly shallow googling, it looks as if people are praising the chain, not the cluster. Given the overall cost of the system, something like XX1 would need to last about 3 times as long as a convention chain/cluster combo (more if you replace chains on wear measurements before they wreck the clusterLuckily, they last for about 100,000km and rarely need replacing.

I don't think they're anything special from all the photos I've seen of teeth breaking off.Is there really any hard evidence the clustesrs last significantly longer though in real world usage though?

Are you talking about gearboxes or SRAM clusters?Luckily, they last for about 100,000km and rarely need replacing. Sometimes you just gotta spend money to save money.
Scam clustersAre you talking about gearboxes or SRAM clusters?

He's always talking about gearboxes, even when nobody else is .....Are you talking about gearboxes or SRAM clusters?

My mistake, I was thinking of another solution that has 12speeds, equal steps between each gear and lasts 100,000km and gets better shifting as it wears.Is there really any hard evidence the clustesrs last significantly longer though in real world usage though?

Can you design a gearbox that can shift under load? Like mtbs? Can you handle the coffee in Germany? Have I got the the job for you.Yeah, gearboxes are a different world in terms of working life. I used to work for a drivetrain design consultancy that worked on cars and wind turbines, lasting a lifetime with the dinky little forces a human can apply would be child's play.
Deal breaker...the coffee in Germany?
Why would you need coffee in Germany. There is beer and lots of enduro brah.Deal breaker...
Although from a technical standpoint, I agree; from a practicality point of view, I'm not sure how necessary it actually is. Owners very rarely seem to have an issue with the functionality; everyone who buys the Pinion boxes says "it takes a short period to learn the new system and adjust to how it shifts, then it's fine".Can you design a gearbox that can shift under load?
