Que talla te la compraste?
Great video thank you for posting
SX is complete garbage !! It came on my GT Senor and with in a week it started to ghost shift and come out of alignment. I have Shimano XT on my Pivot 429 for 8 years and never had a problem just replaced it recently because I thought it was time. I'm sure the XO1 & XX1 are great but also cost a lot more for something so delicate and prone to breaking so frequently. I will stick with Shimano.
Congrats on your first ride! It gets addictive, friend! Haven't raced in 13 years, but I want to get back to it in the next 12 months. By the way, can you tell us your bike's specs?
Love the Esi racers edge. For $15 bucks I swap them out pretty often.
Hang in there bro! I'm sure you've learned a lot being your first XC race. All the best in your next race and remember to ride your own race.
hi,i have a sx gropset but i want to change the shifter with a gx shifter.the sx shift lever is compatible with gx shifter? thank you!
Thanks for the footage and tips! First year rookie here, we shall see how it goes :)
Unless spending 1k+ for something electronic, Shimano slaughters anything Sram makes.
SX gran cagada, falla lo ajusta y sales al campo y no va bien, se abocardan los tornillo tirado a la basura
I haven't had any issues with mine, I think what your describing is just the overall issues caused by damage on any derailleur. Don't matter if you have an entry-level or premium model, both will suffer from wear and tear in the same way.
Step one: learn how to do all bicycle maintenance yourself.
Holy crap man! Seeing all those passing you was brutal. Man lots of respect for giving it your all and posting the truth. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I got my first one coming in two months and now you got me shitting bricks over here 😝 And on a HARDTAIL!!! 💪🏼
Dang, you must’ve been so tired to keep falling like that… I feel ya
Little late to the party but wanted to give my .02 1. Your information on the group sets are inaccurate. All SRAM eagle components are interchangeable regardless of their level. I run xx1, x01 and gx parts on one bike. The only difference is going from nx to gx cassette which requires an XD driver. But you said in your video that you are running slx. Well, slx requires a microspline so you still need a new hub so what’s the point? You could have gone with an nx cassette and the rest gx components. 2. SRAM derailleurs do not extend further than shimano. They come with a jockey wheel liner and you’re supposed to line it up when installing it to get the correct alignment. 3. SRAM derailleurs-imho-are engineered better than shimano. First, you can lock out the clutch completely and second, every cable runs through a pulley system for smoother cable pulls. 4. Sx is an oem component so it’s supposed to be crap. Hell, even nx is crap as they still use bushings instead of bearings and a steel cage instead of aluminum or carbon. You get what you pay for. This is why everyone runs gx on up. 5. Slx is a great system but I would recommend an xt shifter to get the single pull like all the SRAM shifter. I run 2 SRAM bikes, 2 Shimano bikes and 1 microshift bike and if their one advice I can give to new riders who want to upgrade is to go gx or slx and higher. You will see the biggest jump in quality. Good riding!
I bought a used SRAM SX groupset and it had issues shifting from 50 to 42t. I think i have narrowed it down to the derailleur.
Are you still riding? No uploads for quite a while!
I just put a gx on my sx system. Works fine. Didnt have to chamge anything else. Its just a derailleur.
The 12-speed Shimano cassettes use a different standard. Did you keep the SRAM cassette?
Hello Mate. Nice video. What kind of equipment do you use for your indoor video shoots?
Was about to order Canyon Stoic 3 but not anymore lol thanks
was about to buy fezzari bike but they all come with sram sx eagle saved my day i'm not wanting to buy entire new drive train
I just bought the 2023 model in moss green. Super excited to ride it!
This is just what xc racing is all about. Some days you nail it, other days you don't.......just keep going!
I have wanted oakley sunglasses forever
☺♥
Non sono d'accordo perchè uso sram sx e mi trovo molto bene, non ha senso paragonare sram sx con Shimano slx perche è di alta gamma 😢
Sx/Nx cassette it 's fully compatible with all eagle derailleur more expensive..
hey man! whats the size of your bottom bracket? is it 68-73mm? im planning to install a motor once i bought mine...ty.
having chronic issue with the SX this really sucks but the looks is sick but i will give up with this GS and will go to deore 1x11 m5100...i thought im the only one having this problem with my SX 😓. Im going to Shimano this time but ill leave my SX crankset.
Hi, can I ask for advice on what frame size would you recommend for 5"11? M or L
You can use either - if you have longer legs go for L, otherwise go for M (I'm 5'11" and that's what I use).
I have had a Shimano deore 1x10 derailleur for 5 years. It's bulletproof.
I had Shimano XT for 8 years and rock solid. I just replaced the rear derailleur for $67 original shifter and I ride for 2 hours twice a week on some technical stuff. Can not beat the price and durability of Shimano
😂😂 muy bueno.
Hey Rozie, I love the content! Nice seeing a local content creator. Can I ask what bike you use to race? I recently bought a trail bike (Salsa Timberjack) as my mountain bike; however, im also interested in racing now. Can I race with a trail bike or should i buy a dedicated XC bike (i dont really have the budget for one)? Should I sign up for a race using my trail bike to see if I enjoy it? Also, since southern ontario is relatively flat , cant I use my XC bike for majority of the trails here as well? If I do decide to buy an XC bike, I'm looking at the Team Marin 1
Hey Alwin, I was just browsing and see if there is a beginner type for mtb race til I found this content. I live in GTA as well and looking for someone to go train and maybe race one day.
@@desitrading4547 Hello, I'm always down to meet other riders! Unfortunately I'm in Hamilton so meeting up frequently might be difficult. What bike do you ride ?
@@alwinlee5864 Hi, Just a beginner. I'm into Cross-country MTB. I ride a Giant XTC.Will let you know when I get to that side of the city. Are you planning to race this year? Where at?
You do realise you need to maintain your mech. No matter how cheap or expensive any derailleur can shift and be set up well. But maintaining it thats what people dont realise is the part people dont do. New /adjusted cable, lube. Etc usually will fix it
Don't feel bad my last 2 races which happen to be my first 2 I made pretty much the same mistakes lol! Be safe and have fun!
NX is terrible. buy XT.
thank you, you just save me from disaster, I bought Shimano work like a dream. you are the champ!!!
I mean, I want to buy the Grand Canyon 7 which has this derailleur, my current bike is close to the price but offers so much less, Clark hydraulic brakes: they have a pumping issue where I have to squish then like 4 times for them to brake properly, Acolyte drivetrain, which works well but it's very noisy, I know SRAM SX is not the best but I think it's better than the Microshift acolyte, And a 140mm Rabe cero fork, which is why the bike Costs nearly 1k and does not have Shimano components, I did feel a lil scammed but the frame is the most beautiful I have seen from any bike that price, still, canyon has some discounts which is why I'm considering to buy the Grand Canyon 7, is just so much better in every way
Have you had your breaks bleed recently could be the problem at hand. The Grand canyon 7 has not done me wrong outside of the derailleur issues I have had. However, the performance to value ratio of the grand Canyon 6 over the Grand Canyon 7 is is far superior for the price point and specs that come. if your looking into getting a new bike with the canyon line take a look at grand canyon 6
@@rozierides558 so, do you think that trading the Rockshox fork for the suntour is worth it? I knoe that the Shimano XT is far superior than the SX but I not planning to upgrade the suntour fork, I'm 16 so I don't really have a way to upgrade fast, I'm planning to buy the bike and leave the components that it comes with for at least 2 years. And also the dropper and the m400 brakes
Hey, does the grand canyon 8 have tubeless ready rims and tires? The website doesn't necessarily say.
Tubless ready rims. tires are not tubeless, however. would need a different set if you wanted to run them tubeless
4:25 european dollar?! WTF?! What were you thinking? Do you think the countries in the whole world have dollar-related currency?! Come on, man... get off your bike and go for a world tour to open your mind and get rid of your ignorance!!! European dollar!! For fuck sake!!
You helped me a lot! I looked at a Specialized at my bike shop I wanted to get then started hearing bad opinions. The one thing I hate about my GT aggresor is the deraileur.
SLX is not on the same level as SX. It seems like someone is giving you a lot of bad advice. There's definitely a lot of things that you are wrong about.
slx kick sx out of the window
This video is a perfect example of what's wrong with youtube. I appreciate the effort and the reasons behind the video, but this is no different than having a patient make a video recommending what type of surgery one should have and what instrumentality the surgeon should use. As background, I've been working on my own bikes for over 25 years. Have my own little home bike repair center with every tool you need to build, tear down, and maintain any bike. I have built dozens of bikes from the ground up, etc. Among my stable of bikes, I currently have a bike with this SX derailleur and another one with the GX Eagle AXS, so I can talk about this from actual experience. These two derailleurs are on opposite ends of the spectrum in the SRAM lineup. However, if set them up correctly, with the right chain length, most beginning to midlevel riders will notice little to no difference unless you're hitting high/long jumps at a bike park or going down double-diamond DH rides in BC. Bent derailleur hangers are more often at fault for shifting issues after a dump/impact. It's important to understand how the rear hanger on the frame and the derailleur work. The rear hanger is designed to bend and break in order to save your rear mech. Oftentimes, when you suffer impact to the rear derailleur, it will be the hanger that causes the misalignment, resulting in poor shifting. Properly aligning the hanger will typically resolve the issue. Sometimes you need to replace it, but that's cheaper than buying a new derailleur. But guess what, If you dump your bike on a rock on the drive side or smash the crap out of your rear derailleur cause you're hugging the turn next to a huge root or rock, you're going to mess up your derailleur regardless of the quality. Most of what you're describing sounds like alignment issues after impact. A decent mechanic would start there (but many don't). Instead, they'll blame the component and will upsell you to a derailleur you don't really need. You will be heartbroken and surprised to find out, that under most circumstances, your $250+ rear derailleur will bend and break just as easily as your $90 one. As for performance (especially with SRAM), if you ride flowy mid-level trails, you will be hard-pressed to notice the difference between the two. Sure, you may hear your chain rattle a little more going through a rock garden, but I doubt you would be focusing on that while riding through it. First and foremost, find yourself an honest and knowledgeable mechanic who doesn't care about selling your products or services. Even better, take the time to learn bike maintenance yourself, and cut out the middleman. I know I do the best work on my bikes, not because I'm the best mechanic, but because I care about my client. 😁
I agree with you mate. This guy is just pure one sided opinion.
Your post makes sense, but the person who shot the video made it very clear that he's just getting into mountain bikes, and is not an expert. That said, I've seen many complaints about the SX series from both techs and riders. So I have to ask, why? There are countless comments from people who went from SRAM to the equivalent Shamino and are almost always very happy with the switch. Why would the same amateurs having issues with SRAM, get good results with Shamino? Wouldn't you expect them to get the same type of results with Shamino? I'm only asking because I'm trying to make the same choice. I don't care what brand it is, I just want to get the best products for my money.
@@AT-wl9yq I've read... People say... Many have commented... I speak from personal experience and actual long term experience. Most people can't tie their own shoe laces, much less tune a bike. Consequently, their opinions are next to useless on the subject. A well tuned SX or Deore will be just as reliable as the other. I also own bikes with Shimano components, so I have no bias in favor or against either.
He wrecks and guys who wreck break shit!
I agree with you and thanks for the comment but the bike is 3 weeks old and the shifting was bad from day one never had a crash or hit any thing. I replaced the SX with a GX and same problem so I replaced the hanger same problem any ideas? I brought the bike to the shop to see if they can figure it out.
GX is good very but I've never had ant spills. Which could damage any rear mech but SX especially vulnerable protrudes too far out
Hey man great video. Thanks for it. I'm thinking about a Grand Canyon (I should go for Grand Canyon 9 though), and I still cannot understand how the Grand Canyons are so heavy, do you have an idea? This is not really a big deal but I'm just thinking about the quality of the aluminum... Other thing is the import duties and taxes (almost 30% for Quebec), is that correct? I want this bike mostly for XC, just saw some of your videos and looks like the bime are doing well in this department. Do you think os a good choice (my other option is a Cannondale Scalpel HT Carbon 4). Thanks again man, cheers.
My names Michael and I ride the trail 4
Thanks for the great review! I was about to order the Grand Canyon 7 but now I'm concerned about the Sram SX. Do you think it'd make sense to step down to Grand Canyon 6 that has Deore XT M8100? I'm planning to use it mostly on forest trails, no plans for big jumps. Of course Grand Canyon 8 looks nicer but 7 is already above my planned budget.
Knowing what I know now along with availability I definitely would have either upgraded to the grand canyon 8 or down graded to the 7 just to get the shimano drivetrain. The Grand Canyon 6 is phenomenally spec'd at the price point, and performance wise is just as good if not better than the grand canyon 7 based on the components. Wont have a dropper or remote lockout but based off my idea of the use and trails youll likely ride it wont be missed what so ever. Make the move down with confidence knowing your getting something reliable and well priced, no need to justify an upgrade to the 8. Hoped this was able to help you out thanks for reaching out!
@@rozierides558 thanks a lot for your honest advice!
If you put better end caps on the grips last longer, ODI BMX end caps are made for skate park punishment (cement) and they wash off easily, or get black ones, they are the lightest grips that and comfort is why Pro riders use them. They come in many sizes for hands of all sizes, and many colors.. you really shouldn't be hitting trees..
Hmm sounds like a more protective lockon style ESI Grip would fix the durability issue for you...😏🤫
Woaaaaah! Something in the works? 👀⁉️
