That’s really decent.

Got my Epix last year and it’s brilliant. Even for occasional mapping and importing GPX routes from Trailforks.

Not worth it. Its same watch with different screen(better) and less battery life.

Depends on how much better the screen is!
Not a bad price to change if I sell the Fenix…

The screen is much better. Especially for outdoor maps. I went from Fenix to this and it’s gone from barely useable for maps to incredibly useful.

Thanks, that is a good price for a XT 12 speed.

M7100 is much cheaper, seem to be overstocked.

 

[RustyMTB]

The only differences between XT & SLX deraiileurs is about 30 grams, the shiny finish & the price. Otherwise, they're identical components.

The above were the other forks I'd been thinking of for my 2019 Kenevo but was put off by the 38mm offset compared to the 44mm offset my bike and many others come with. Reading online though it seems I probably wouldn't notice the sightly shorter offset anyway - any thoughts?

Anyway as I've always fancied trying to mullet my Kenevo I went for the 29 Fox 38 factory forks posted above and if I don't like them I figured they should keep their value better as they are more in demand second hand

I bought the newer version with buttercups etc for sub £400 on eBay from Germany and got hit with taxes still sub £500. The only negative on 38mm offset is that it will only take the smaller bolt on guards. If you want the longer guard and more coverage you'll need the 44mm offset . The bike I'm using them on is designed around 38mm offset

And the XT jockey wheels have bearings where the SLX uses bushes.

And the XT jockey wheels have bearings where the SLX uses bushes.

In your experience is there any difference in performance between jockey wheels with bushes and those with bearings?

 

[theremotejuggernaut]

In your experience is there any difference in performance between jockey wheels with bushes and those with bearings?

Less maintenance for one. Riding through winter the bushes inevitably get grit in there and if you don't clean them out regularly they start to chew up the jocket wheel. The bearings however seem to be fairly well sealed and just need a bit of fresh grease and the occasional flush and regrease to keep them running nicely.

All of the bushed jockey wheels I've ever had have worn out far quicker. As in, the teeth wear out whereas the XT ones with bearings tend to last longer. I'm not sure why but it's been the same for years going back to the days of 9sp.

I was always too poor for XT so made so with Deore mechs and once the jockey wheels died, I'd fit XTs and they last seemingly forever.

I think on 12sp it's likely that as the bushes wear and play starts in the jockey wheels, the shifting will be poor. At least in my shimano drivetrains, shifting quality is VERY sensitive to alignment of the hanger and cable tension, b screw adjustment etc. The bearings will almost certainly last better than bushes but I've only experienced XT on 12sp.

Well, I did start with and SLX mech but the back wheel ate it long before I could wear the jockey wheels out
