All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Oh man...the renegade is a sick bike. I convinced my old roommate to get one and he's loved it. I woudl get one if i didn't already have a gravel bike. It really is a real beautiful rig.

 

Well… let’s just say it depends on if a company releases a frame set option soon…. I’d be going 27.5 though and i have the start of a Shimano drivetrain so I’d likely go that flavor.

 

Shimano shifting is my preference. Ironically I find myself with SRAM biased wheelsets and parts currently. Trying to save a few pennies by running what I brung in some areas so I can splurge on others….

 

Thanks! This is my second Renegade. I sold my older one to get this one. I’ve actually been using it as my road bike as well as on gravel lately. It climbs much better than my road bike.

 

I also prefer Shimano. My fatty is running SRAM, and unfortunately its a full SX setup so I can't upgrade the cassette (but it'd be easy to switch to Shimano). My main bike is running Shimano and I prefer the shifting of Shimano to SRAM. Shimano feels more mechanical, SRAM seems smoother, in my opinion.

I'm keeping an eye out for the release of Poseidon's MTB. Should be a 27.5, aluminum frame and make for a hell of a woods beater. I already have 27.5 wheels and I'm thinking about stripping my Polygon and selling it in stock form, which would give me a Lyrik fork and I9 wheels. All the Entity parts would go back on the Polygon.

 

Samies…keeping this under wraps until it’s done.

 

Let’s talk about that GX drivetrain. Since all I have is the stumpy now, some upgrades will be nice.

 

Dont be a tease, spill the beans!

 

I’ll keep you posted. Someone’s already expressed some interest. Who knows, I may have an AXS setup available too.

Where’s the fun in that?

 

Let me know. I really want a new BB over this SX garbage

 

Do you know what BB that model year SJ uses? If not take a pic. You’ll also see Dub on the spindle if you remove the cranks.

I believe SX to XX1 are all the same BB. It’s just rather or not the frame itself pressfit or BSA threaded.

 

Threaded. Not dub.

 

If you just need a new BB I may have one or a lightly uses one I could send you.

 

Dub can be PF or threaded. Pretty sure that’s just SRAMs fun term for their spindle sizing.

 

Remove the cranks and it probably says DUB, threaded is hub shell type, and “dub” is just a 29mm diameter spindle.

Mine was creaking and I fixed it with a torque wrench and making sure the BB was at 50 n/m and cranks I believe were 54 newtons.

 

It’s not dub

 

It’s sram powerspline

It’s BSA 68/73, which is nice and easily replaceable. Weird they didn’t go dub.

I’ve never saw one before and I wouldn’t have to the tool to replace it. I do have the Sram Dub tool though.

 

Yeah it’s that, and it’s like “open” on the sides. Which I don’t want. So it feels very not sealed up and I get a lot of noises from my bottom bracket if I don’t grease it ALL the time

 

You sir need a set of GX carbon cranks and a proper BB. Oh lookie what I have over on my work bench…
