I must also be doing something wrong, x9 all the way, never had any real problems, last ages, really reliable, don’t need that much adjusting.

Grim,

Had exactly the same trouble on my 2010 Crush.

I’ve also upgraded the shifters and rear mech to X0.

Slick now! 🙂

Actually, to balance my previous post out, most SRAM equipped bikes I see are commuters – lower to middle groupsets – and they don’t shift as well as the equivalent Shimano. So I guess the top end kit might shift better.

Only ever used and am happy with Shimano.

HTH

I’ve had to free up two different XT front mechs in the last month.

Gonna take shifter apart and see what i can do with it. Nothing ventured nothing gained 😕

I think those who like SRAM are just trying to be different

What a load of utter crap.

I think cheap SRAM works better than cheap Shimano. And I think expensive Shimano is a bit better than expensive SRAM…… until the cables start to gum it all up, then SRAM keeps going longer

Don’t particularly like Shimano, but the kit works, obviously. Have got SRAM on the 69er and it too works well. What was your point again?
