Pinkbike Poll: Which Mountain Bike Standards Should Stick Around?
@tacklingdummy: Glad somebody understands what I mean, XX1 and X01 are made of alloy and GX and NX are made of steel. It only makes sense to go with the cheaper and longers lasting cassette, in this case, GX for XD and NX for HG drive

Pinkbike Poll: Which Mountain Bike Standards Should Stick Around?
@billreilly: Yeah, real inexpensive, because majority no longer use 26ers, hence the lower cost. Its demand is rather low as well, but with the ongoing pandemic, everybody has decided to take out their old bikes and repair them, hence the raised prices

@MaplePanda: Makes sense, i guess that's why they wrote it as 29mm, doesn't really matter with me, anytime i've gotten a DUB BB, its caused me more money. I've ran DUB 3 times and it always gets wrecked within a week

@matt-15: Even with Carbon Bars, there isn't much diffierence, besides the beefy look of the bar. It matches most of todays carbon frames.

Pinkbike Poll: Which Mountain Bike Standards Should Stick Around?
@joostd: Well everybody has their opinions, I personally prefer 6 bolt, cause when I had centerlock, I had to get a special tool for it, cost me 30 bucks and I missed 2 weeks of riding. So its really just on what you prefer, I have tons of torx bits and torx screwdrivers, so its just easier for me. I think Valves are just a something companies came up with to get more money out of buyers. What better way to make someone buy something then making is 100% necessary. A cheap shock pump will set you back 10-15 bucks, whilst a cheap presta pump is anywhere from 20-50 bucks

yep its gonna be what most people have, and not what they prefer. I believe some of these people don't change their components to match their preference at all

@joostd: Its Easier, cheaper, and less work needed. You have 6 bolts, screw it on, done. If you get a center lock hub, you need a special tool (another one) and if it gets loose trailside, your pretty much screwed. If 6 bolts gets loose, ask for a riders multitool, or use your own. Also 6 bolt has way more options, and you could customize the screws based on your bikes color, something you can't do with centerlock. 6 bolt is just better IMO

because we want maximum range, XD is proven and has been out for years. Micro spline, which was just released is not as tested and proven as XD. So I'm personally gonna put my faith in something proven.

@jwestenhoff: well said, many old bikes and cheaper bikes are usually 26ers. Many used bikes people buy from facebook, offerup, and local markets are 26ers. 26er will always be there, even if it isn't produced by big companies
