Very informative, very concise. This channel will definitely go places within the biking community. Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
For building up a bike yourself, the „old“ top tier 11-speed drive trains from Shimano and SRAM are great value✌️
M6000, M7000, and M8000 are the bomb
I've been using Microshift Advent X for a few years and it's been great
Hi Phill, great video as always!
I've used the Advent 9 speed for over a year. It's an excellent drivetrain that would be more then enough for 90% of riders. I do highly recommend getting the 11-46t cassette.
Thanks Daniel! Stoked to hear you have been loving it. The 11-46t is a must for me! Couldn't imagine going back to something like a 11-42
@@bikesonline Why? Also for an ebike (with read motor)?
A great step up over Tourney with a triple front chainring.
Also drop bar brifters are available to suit the groupset.
😎🇦🇺👍
I freaking love my Advent x drivetrain. Would be killer if they release a 11-51 cassette (which apparently works out of the box with the current derailleur) and a drop bar brifter with integrated cable routing 😁.
Stoked to hear you are loving the Advent X! A few of our bikes have the 11-50t sunrace cassette with the Advent X and it works great.
Totally agree. Was looking at bikes, which were way more expensive with more well known branded drivetrains, but ended up with the Marin Nicasio + which has the Advent 9. Really can't fault anything about this bike.
Where were those trails you were riding?
100%! The Nicasio + is such a great option and as you said no real reason to spend more. It's probably the most comfortable gravel bike around. The trails were Daisy Hill and some random track near Camp Hill in SE QLD
How is yours shifting now? I had a cannondale trail 5 that was stolen from my garden a couple of weeks ago, I absolutely loved it and cycled it a lot from 2020 until it was nicked. I noticed a couple of the harder to pedal gears (the ones used most by me when cycling on road) were skipping slightly and felt like they were wearing down more than the rest, anyone else with the same experience compared to shimano? My last bike before the cannondale was a 2005 specialized hardrock sport with shimano acera, the cassette/chain seemed to do a lot more miles before skipping than the advent x, do shimano use better steel?
Hard to say, but there's no doubt Shimano makes a reliable product! Advent-X is also a very reliable drivetrain, though.
I'm thinking of turning my old Fuji fitness bike into something a bit more gravel friendly. It currently has an old 2X Shimano Sora drivetrain. I want to go with Advent 9. But what of the crankset? The Fuji currently has the stock Shimano Sora, 50/34T. Any recommendations on what to switch to that will work nicely with the Advent 9 cassette? Thanks!
Perhaps a 1x GRX Crankset? Should be able to reuse your bottom bracket that way since it's all Shimano! Just an idea.
@@bikesonline Thanks!
What is the price if I only buy the rear derailleur of adventx? And will it be compatible with a shimano 10spd shifter?
Hi there, according to microshift ADVENT X has a different cable pull than Shimano 10 speed products. ADVENT X shifters and derailleurs works best with ADVENT X.
Advent X needs hydraulic drop bars, great groupset!
As a poseiden owner I agree
Where does the Microshift XLE fit in compared to the Advent? Their website is hard to tell how the product stack compares
Seems as though the XLE is designed for gravel applications. The levers under that name are for drop bars, and it seems the derailleurs are optimized for the throws of those levers as well.
@@bikesonline Appreciate it. Thanks mate
I stick to 2x9 polygon premier 5 I have no complaints tried a advent 9 on it but the shifter felt weird
2x9 still works great! What felt weird on the advent? Be interesting to hear your thoughts
@@bikesonline the shifter in general was just weird to me the finger position was off
How about comparing it to 11 speed Deore instead of SLX? It would have been a blowout for Shimano
There's a bit of a comparison towards the end of the video :) Very similar price but you get more range with the shimano but the advent X is a fair bit lighter
@@bikesonline Deore m5100 11 speed with some wider gear range & another $20 to spare definitely a wise & best value 1X drivetrain rather than the advent x. IMO, 211 grams heavier wouldn't be an issue unless "U" are a pro rider🤭
I hate simamo deore. I tried a new SLX didn't like that either. I looove SRAM but seen a bike with this Advent 9 and I have no idea what's it's like. If you like deore then SRAM will impress you and change your mind. Deore sucks it constantly need's tuning where SRAM is solid. The springs are way more stiff so flops around less and stays in tune better
I still love my 2x drive train. It’s got the full range I want because I can fly on the road when commuting and it can climb.
Love my Polygon Xtrada 6 2x11
150€ for the complete group is a banger
100%!
which is better advent or nx 11 speed
Definitely Advent!
@@bikesonline can you tell me why i was carefully looking for reviews of nx 11 speed and cant dind any
Totts worth it 🌟🌟
100%!
Microshit Acolyte works with the 11-48T Avdent X cassette. Save your $
Very nice!
Acolyte will run the 11-48T Advent X 10 speed. Pull ratios are the same. Acolyte is $15-$25 cheaper and has a clutch that is better.
Very informative! Thank you!
I knew it , bought a gx 10 speed dt & see no difference, shoulve done my research,
If money ain’t a concern, would you still go with MicroShift?
If money wasn't a concern I'd ride Eagle AXS hahaha. But honestly if I was building up a frame personally I would go the Advent X 100%. The 11-48 range is enough for me and it's really light.
@@bikesonline Word up. Eagle AXS shifts really smooth and silent even under load. Sometimes you don’t even know it even shifted because the shifts are too smooth.
I guess for budget builds, MicroShift is the way to go, assuming it is better than SX and NX. But if SLX is better, that’s an alternative to consider.
No, this is not how you compare things. "They are cheaper and lighter so they win against this other thing that has way more gears and is therefore obviously heavier and more pricier." DUH! You should have told us about your long time experiences with both, not just spill out the obvious. ChatGPT could generate a comparison like this.
Thanks for your honest input!
Can't be worse than SRAM sx
Definitely not!
