What chain are you running with the gx shifter and xt mech. I’ve just done the same and cant quite get the shifting working quite right. When I adjust I either seem to be able to get the highest cog and not the lowest or the other way around. Wondering if my chain may be worn and not helping things.
Ive go an SB100 and its the best bike ive ever owned. Just cant get over how ast it is. May look for another bike to sit alongside it thoigh for bigger days. The Ripmo looks ace. The new Ripley also looks extremely good.
That’s exactly what I have. Lasted me 10 years. Would like something I can put the power down on a bit more. Quite like the look of the giro technolace which are on offer at the moment.
I bought the xc7. Really liked them and fitted well but I found the strap across the top of the foot was too high and dug into my ankle so sent them back.
700c
Got room for up to 45
To be honest ill likely stay on the roads until it gets drier and then just bridleways, fire roads and farm tracks
Anyhting else i will ride on my MTB
Really. Thats rubbish. Why so long. That may be a blur out of the window then although the sniper is also a long wait time. Anyone know wher i can demo a sniper?
Just wondering if the 120 out back may just give me a bit more versatility to allow me to use it as my very day xc/ trail bike as well as race bike .Anyone compared the sniper blur together ?
I’d be really keen to hear peoples thoughts on the sniper vs blur in trail versions. The sniper gets very slack but i would look to reduce the HA by fitting an angle set. 66 degrees seems very slack. 68 would be perfect. Does the trail version of the sniper get 120mm out back – looks like it when buying frame only. How does the sniper frame compared to the blue in terms of sturdyness / flex
Sounds ace. very temped. Looks like there are a host of 100-120 bikes coming out in the next month or so. Need to try this alongside the new Orbea TR and Whyte s120
