Had the first few rides on the LinkGlide XT 10 speed (see my previous messages about components). The shifting is way less harsh then the previous SRAM GX Eagle setup I had. I was so used to lower my leg torque when shifting with that setup, but with LinkGlide you can shift under load without it...
Nice, I have the 6.8 version set up as a mullet. What specific chainring did you get? And why only eco and tour? I looove the emtb mode, it feels so natural. Like a Jedi mind trick.
Check out my post above. Only difference between the Deore and XT feel is in the shifter. You can use the XT 11 speed shifter with a 10 speed Deore derailleur/cassette setup. You can also use the XT derailleur, but that won't make any noticeable difference. People have even tested the 11-48...
Just installed a LinkGlide XT/Deor 10 speed set on my bike (Focus Sam2). I had GX and NX eagle before. The wear cost is in the cassette and the chain. I used the The NX cassette, PG-1230, and XO1 chain (better longevity).
Cost per one cassette change (not accounting for longevity):
NX Eagle...
I use a simpler version. I have a Bosch Cx Gen 4, non smart, system.. I have a chip, which also let's me see the actual battery percentage on the purion display. Which is something Bosch should have but in the system themselves.
Anyway, I calculated that it takes 22 minutes per 10% charge. When...
I'm 188cm and prefer a ride with 480-510mm reach. But reach is just a factor when out of the saddle. Top tube is the reach when you seated. My current bike is ~495mm reach and 670mm top tube. I do slam the seat forward. I also prefer a 40mm stem length.
When riding more flat trails, a short top...
Just found a 2023 Rockrider brochure online Rockrider Catalogue Ss2023 English Version (calameo.com) and what caught my eye, among other things (search D3O), was the Stilus E-Big Mountain. @Rob Rides EMTB might find this also interesting ;)
I think this is a step backwards from the old Jam2/Sam2.

No mullet option!
No high-long/low-short chainstay setting
+1 for fitwheels.eu I ordered the wrong front hub, and They relaced it with the correct hub free of charge (excl. shipping).
Whole experience, from communication to shipping and the wheels themselves are awesome.
On request I even got the gold FR 541 stickers included. Maybe you can get them...
I've had the Big Betty 27.5x2.8 SuperTrail which I didn't like. It was too vague. A 2.6 SuperGravity would have been a better option. Thats what I have now with the Eddy Current. Really good traction and you turn the tyre when it's warn from braking.
Next up will be a Kryptotal Re 27.5x2.6...
Been running a Eddy Current Rear 27.5 x 2.60 Super Gravity Soft and absolutely love them. Not the grippiest tyre ever, but best balance between grips and wear. Also very predictable. And you can reverse them, because the thread is symmetrical.
Grippiest I've had where the E-Wild rear, but that...
