Has anyone used any aftermarket chainrings with the Shimano shift pattern with Sram X1 cranks on a Bosch Gen 4 (I have a trek Rail 9.7)? Trying to figure out if I need to replace the cranks with Ethirteen or Race Face to cranks to run a Shimano chainring. thanks, VM

Internet answered my question on the crank options ie. 104 BCD with spider vs. direct mount options both work on a boost bike with Gen 4 Bosch. Still look forward to other folks feedback on SRAM GX vs. Shimano XT 12 speed as not sure I want to commit to the Linkglide stuff until I destroy more...

Looking to buy a couple of Fox 38 Factory forks for Rail 9.7's - understand Emtb tune is softer up top and adds an extra volume spacer to become more progressive on bottom than stock tune. Understand that likely for rolling terrain the emtb tune will have more traction and less bump resistance...

Looking at buying second shocks for our two 2021 Trek Rail 9.7's. Based on what I have read here and elsewhere it appears the size large frame has several non-rockshox air shock options (Ohlins, Fox X2 (if you are okay with the seat tube clearance), and several coil shock options. However, with...
