To continue a conversation we started last week withXT M8130 LinkGlide, the CUES drivetrain uses the new cable pull/derailleur motion ratios and cassette pitch of Shimano's LinkGlide system and is not considered
Shimano’s 1×11 option will offer a 40 or 42 tooth front chainring and will more than likely be paired with an 11-40 or 11-42 tooth cassette. You could possibly use the 2x rear derailleur on a 1×11 set up and pair that with an 11-30, 32, or 34 tooth c...
But, it will still missing that wide range 2x setup that Shimano GRX nailed. Well, that setup is no longer missing, and that makes us happy! Who knew math and ratios would be so exciting. SRAM Force eTap AXS now includes a 10-36t cassette and 43/30t sub-compact chainring option. Th...
The Nexus and Alfine 8-speed hubs have two stages of gearing. The first stage outputs either a reduction ratio or direct drive. The second stage offers direct drive and three higher ratios. The first stage is in its reduction ratio for first through 4th gear, while the second stage steps ...
The noise may be front derailleur rub or caused by the teeth of the cogs interacting with the chain at extreme angles. Riding with a crossed chain is not recommended (and not necessary) as there are very similar gear ratios that can be achieved by shifting to a different front/rear gear ...
