Yep so the sram X01DH uses a freehub called the XD driver. Only cassettes designed for it will fit.

You'll need to get a dt swiss shimano freehub for your hub to swap over to that new cassette.

thanks for the help. so i have a dtswiss 350 ratchet style hub. and i am wanting to put in a shimano tiagra 10sp cassette. Im pretty sure this will work, but can you look it over and make sure ill be good before i drop the cash?

and then i just pull off the old free hub, mount the new one, and the cassette should work fine? are there any other adapters, spacers, or anything else i need to get? and i assume the top cap i have with the cassette will screw onto the new free hub, locking it all down right?

Yep that's it, just pull the current one off, slide that one on and cassette on and that should be it.

Hi all, i tried finding the answer but poor luck,
i have an norco aurum 2, and i have a bolt loose .
it has a lot of play in it. its the shock rocker bolt, the one sided one.
i hope you all understand what im talking about, because as i found out its a common thing.
so , my question is, where can i buy that bolt, i read somewhere there is an black better than gray bolt...?

I ordered one off of Evans cycles, it's not come yet. Cost like 20 quid, I needed it due to the amount of wear on my other

Question on the carbon Aurum, I find that I have to crank the seat post bolt pretty tight or else my seat post will slide down or move side to side with moderate forces (i.e. normal riding). Will carbon paste fix this? Seat post is Race Face SixC carbon... and yeah, I really should get a torque wrench.

gotta use the paste and get the torque wrench - over torquing carbon is bad mojo - you hear the cracky cracky and you're done!

Does anyone have a tech sheet with all the torque specs for the Aurum Carbon? The PDF pages posted earlier in this thread have torque for the suspension pivots and rear axle, but the seat post collar is not included.

I will order a torque wrench(s) but want to sort out all the specs on the bike first to make sure I have enough range (might need two wrenches it seems to get down to 10nM and below).

Thx

Rule of thumb for carbon seatposts is 6nm absolute max, 5Nm if you can get away with it and plenty of carbon paste.

Just got the new Fox DHX2 for my aurum (carbon). Any other carbon aurum owners out there running the DHX2 that would like to share their settings? Currently have it set at the recommended default for 300lb setting but haven't had chance to ride it. May not be able to get it proper dialed in till bike park season next spring. I want to see what others are running at with their dhx2

In also bought one at evanscycles (c7.1). Even drove all the way fron the Netherlands to the UK to pick it up. The one in the store had scratches on the handlebar and rear triangle. So did not take it (they offered me 100 pounds, but can not even buy a new sixc handlebar for 100 pounds). They should send me another one, New one, with no damage. But it was horribly packed, so it's full of scratches and they only offer me 150 pound (on a 3085 pounds bike). It already costed me at least 100 pounds to drive to the uk.

We still havent found a solution. Ketting my money back will also cost me about 150 pound because of the currency rate (gbp>euro)
Hope you didnt order the c7.1 size medium, cuz there'll scratches on it...
