Amen to that! Shit, I'd be stoked if we were over 30 degrees for two days in a row!

Yep. So I can spend my money on bike parts and other things I enjoy. Not health insurance/medical bills.

This place is dead. What are you more excited for, XTR 12 speed or X01 AXS?

Also, would you run this:

Syncros Hixon SL IC review

AXS x100


And most definitely.

X1 / x01 11 speed with the e13 cassette is still my favorite. Eagle weighs more, more expensive, less range, weaker chain, and sits in a lower more smashable location.


9-46 pinch bolt version? I have it on my supreme SX and get up most stuff. Downgraded back to 1x11.

I wore through 2 e13 cassettes in a summer. Both getting less than 800 miles - They've got a long way to come to compete with the quality of sram and shimano in terms of their cassettes. Theres a reason theyre so light.

I had to service mine after less than one season, which was disappointing, as my mileage wasn't exceptionally high in that period, I clean and lube my chain every ride, and I rotate several chains to minimize elongation.

The good news is that the solution was to replace the three aluminum sprockets: not terribly expensive and the steel portion is still in great shape. The steel sprockets should last through at least two sets of aluminum sprockets. After that point, careful matching of chains, worn front sprockets, and worn cassette sub-components may allow one more season. This puts me at about 1 season for the aluminum sprockets and 2+ seasons for the steel sprockets.

Compared to a SRAM X01 Eagle cassette, the TRS+ cassette is slightly lighter and slightly cheaper (with two sets of aluminum sprockets to every one steel set) and the TRS Race is a decent amount lighter, but not cheaper.

[enormous photo of the Syncros Hixon]

1. I was most excited about the Sylence hub, especially the CS-M9110-11 Lightweight version with wider flange spacing. Without that, neither group improves my ride experience enough to make me spend the money.

2. No, I would ride this.
