Pinkbike Poll: When Did You Last Break a Chain?

Yes. Shimano XT Linkglide FTW. 5800 miles on my drivetrain. Never broke a chain. Got 5000 miles on my first linkglide cassette. Love it on my Rail.

Everything You Need to Know About Shimano's New XTR Di2 Wireless Drivetrain

@ballsackington: there is more to this than u may see. The der can pair to road shifters for a 1x gravel setup. There are some new models for e-bikes and some cool tech there. Shimano little battery has ~45% more life than AXS battery and Shimano battery doesn’t have to be removed for transport like AXS. Shimano redesigned the clutch spring inside. Made this more robust than it looks. Idk. Seems rad. Also two cassette sizes and cage lengths. You can speed up or slow down shifting speed in app unlike sram. Cool stuff.
