A witch !!!I’m actually more inclined to buy GX after this thread...

I first thought SRAM were being dodgy (they probably still are) - but I like the idea of getting decent shifting for much cheaper than XO more.A witch !!!

Simple version for the general population:
GX derailleur + GX B bolt = shitty shifting
GX derailleur + X01 B bolt = less shitty shifting*
* unproven theory
yes please. would love to hear more opinions of the ztto cassettesI've got one of the new ztto ones here, happy to review when build is finished. New car put the brakes on it. Manitou need to hurry up with mezzer, and dominions in a decent colour.
Relative to X01, there is definitely a looser fit with the GX derailleur and GX B bolt - if you wiggle the cage at the lower jockey wheel on the GX derailleur there is definitely more play and it seems to be mostly as a result of movement at the B knuckle where the (inferior GX) B bolt attaches it to the hanger. It's not so loose that it is rattling around at on the GX, it's just that there is noticeable extra play compared with X01 - the B bolt is less snug in the derailleur knuckle.Yeah but......wouldn't there have to be some play in the mounting pivot to allow the movement depicted by the curved orange arrows ?
I'm looking for a replacement for the Microshift at the moment and looked into that derailleur. I found some info on exploding jockey wheels or similar and at the moment I'm thinking I'm just going to stick with XT...Anyone running a Sunrace derailleur?
Specifically this one (https://www.hibike.com/sunrace-mx-6...02467fd9516546c1544cdbd51d49eea5#var_78440006 )
It says its a med length cage and supports the 12sp cassettes which run 50t , but my understanding is that med cages don't easily work with 50t out of the box?
Has Sunrace designed their med cage derailleur to work with 50t?
These HiBike price points are super tempting to go back to 11sp!
Fun fact: The 11sp 50t cassette has the same top 8 gears as Eagle cassettes
Hi Nambra, peeps on MTBR have solved issues with GX by using the XX1/X01 boltSimple version for the general population:
GX derailleur + GX B bolt = shitty shifting
GX derailleur + X01 B bolt = less shitty shifting*
* unproven theory
Not sure that'd work - its not end play thats the issue, its the shitty tolerances between the bore of the body and the bolt itself.Yeah I read those comments on mtbr. I'm waiting on @Haakon to get his bolt and report back before I commit to it. I still think you could probably just add an o-ring to the existing GX bolt for a similar outcome for bugger all money... I might try that in the meantime if I can find some suitable o-rings.
This is my thinking. The X01 has a plastic bush/sleeve that is there to handle the poor bore tolerances.I wonder if there is any difference in the derailleur knuckle between X01 and GX - is the GX one not machined to as close a tolerance? I guess if the X01 B bolt makes for a more secure connection, it would suggest that it's just the GX B bolt that is less snug, not the derailleur knuckle.
I'd probably just buy it from mtbd to be honest. After the change rate and GST the difference is like $2*still eagerly awaiting a package from Taiwan to finally test all this myself...
What Mail carrier did you use ?This is my thinking. The X01 has a plastic bush/sleeve that is there to handle the poor bore tolerances.
Stay tuned
