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

I have the PNW Loam Lever and I absolutely love it. Much better feel than my old stock SDG lever. I think it looks better than the wolftooth but that's all personal preference. Can't go wrong with the wolftooth nor the PNW.

 

Really tired of fooling with my SX derailleur. Think it’s basically toast as of today. Gonna order a GX. Where would y’all order from?

 

Whoever is cheapest. Rei, jenson, competitive cyclist, BC. I use active junky to get a little bit extra back.

 

JensonUSA ships quickly

 

Seems to be $125 from everyone for the GX derailleur. Just wondered on shipping or company preference?

 

V1 and V2, both with the Wolftooth LA lever. Perfect.

Big ride on the big bike today. 22 miles, and 4200 vert. All tech climbing, gnar DH. Freakin beat. But clean air, cool temps and changing leaves made for a hell of a good ride.





Bonus gap

 

Ordered with Jenson. Their product description actually had more detail than WWC so that made me choose them. Should be here by Friday next week at least. Ride my old hardtail until then.

 

Arkansas Hills, Salida, CO. Smoke cleared up after a while, thank god. I need every bit of O2 I could get today.

 

You need my address?

 

Interested to hear your thoughts on the two bikes. I've been on a Mojo3 for 3 years now. As soon as I saw the Spur (and Ranger, Ripley) I knew those would be bikes that would be good for me. I like the Mojo3 but it has always seemed a bit sluggish climbing.

 

Anybody have a SRAM GX or X01 11s shifter they're looking to sell?

Also, can anyone with experience between the two give some insight as to the difference in feel? If I have a GX drivetrain will a X01 shifter make any difference? Other than getting the cool red accents and pnw shifty of course...

 

Dang Jenson already shipped my GX derailleur. On a Sunday. That’s pretty dang good.

 

Ok help me out fellas. Got the SX shifter off to take a glance at if it’s workable. To at least have as a backup or something. When I release the “lock” and let the derailleur move forward it makes contact between these two points.



Even adjusting the upper and lower limits as far as I can to “pull the derailleur out” isn’t enough. Is it bent, or something else? Excuse my bad bike vocab.

still upgrading to GX just messing with this today...


edit: wait never mind...I got it to stop making contact there.

 

I am not a derailleur expert by any stretch but your cable looks to have no tension on it?

 

I got the contact fixed but maybe that’s another issue?

I don’t understand the cable adjustment very much. Like how tight should it be before clamping it down? Tight af?

 

Tight af is correct.

 

Hm. Let me set it back up. I abhor derailleur adjustment so much lol

 

Next to bleeding brakes its the worst. Thank god we only have rear derailleurs now.

 

@jjones.yota a little riding bliss for you to get motivated and fix that rear derailleur. @Bannerman please fast forward to 2:30 for the last better half of the video.
