This is a very important point you've highlighted. The trickle down of refinement in bikes, components, wheels, hydraulic disk brakes etc. makes it possible to "leap frog" technologically, getting much better quality at bottom basement prices. But I think I could have saved you a hassle in the beginning, Shimano is very good at offering very capable and adjustable drivetrain solutions, all the way across the board. Shimano's lowest level is much better than any other "same-price" offers.
I agree wholeheartedly, if someone was to do a build of any sort then a brand name system from any main manufacturer is going to be better than the junk I bought initially. I purely bought the eBay kit for the videos so others didn't have to, but on the whole I've kept a lot more of the cheap parts on the bike than I would have expected. Appreciate you watching!
I have Deore on a bike I bought in 2014. It shifts perfectly.
Nice! For the low end of their more premium range it's pretty hard to beat for performance, value and reliability. Safe riding!
The colour looks really nice! I would have put drop bars on though.
It definitely gets some looks with a 38 year old hairy bloke riding it. Appreciate you watching!
