I thought we were talking about mtbs?

Completely interchangable approaches

Very interested in the 9-46 performance. Such a good price and way lighter than gx

Chucked it on last night. Running a new KMC chain and old Sram GX derailleur and I must say I’m pretty happy. Took minimal tuning to get it running smoothly. Literally 2 clicks of cable tension. Maybe a tad noisy but I think I’m only noticing it because @moorey mentioned it. I might even be making it up. Overall stoked for a $200 cassette that is as light as my new generation e13 superbucks cassette, runs nicely and looks good too!

Morning fire trail smash. Had to be early, had to be fire trails (singletracks are moist AF boi!), but damn was it nice to get out after a week of rain and being cooped up inside working.

Happy weekend rides burners!!

One of those days

I uses these caps when I only carry water (I don't like putting anything but water in my CamelBak) or I uses one of the powders in a bottle if carrying a bottle and CamelBak

Cool, I thought you were talking tabs to add to water. I don’t put anything but water in my camelback either; just to lazy to go through all that cleaning.

Nice. I might bang on Quinn’s old X1 gear and try again. Then try the second cassette.

I’ve never tried SRAM 11s with bigger than 42t. Clearly no issues getting into the big ring?

Don’t bother. They’re rubbish. You’ve got my address. I’ll dispose of them for you.

If you’re paying $200, take my money

I'm sure he'll be happy to pay you $200 dollars of your own money. Couldn't see why not!

Fuck me, you threw me with the Calimero avatar. Thought I was having a stroke and quoting myself

Are you sure you’re not??

Not entirely.

Quick, I think the toast is burning!

Surprisingly not at all. Barely even needed to play with the bscrew.

I have a pain in my arm, and a metallic taste in my mouth. Better use more vegemite.

You were previously running 9-46 e13 though, weren’t you?

Nope. Not on this bike. 11-42 gx. That is on the Highlander and that was a prick to tune for some reason.

Some say the chain growth on the HSP’s can screw up shifting a bit. ENR has 60mm rearward movement, and no issues now with the Sunrace 10-46. Zac tolerated the Eagle, but it wasn’t perfect.

Dunno. Going by the owners FB group who are 99.99999% Running 12sp dinner plates it doesn’t seem to be an issue on this bike at least. At any rate I’ve only run it properly in the stand. No real world testing as yet. I’ve got it running nicely now but still drops a chain if I back pedal in the 46 which although is no real issue it annoys me as none of my Sram gear has even done that.
