Thank you so much for the video!!! I think all SRAM 1x owner should know this. I had my derailleur hanger snapped. I had to compromise between the smooth shifting between the 1st gear and the 11th gear. Only to find out later that it all had to do with the b screw for the distance between the jockey wheel and the 1st gear.
I have XX1 on 2 bikes and I run it so the jockey wheel rubs when changing to the 50t, it's the only way I have ever been able to get quick and reliable shifting, this is taking sag into account as well.
could you please tell the story of the failed crowd funding for the riding house? i've read comments here trying to paint you in a bad light for it and i'm interested in your perspective
Now I know how my hanger got bent with NX system, I never hit it and had to straighten it and replace at same time when switched to slx drivetrain on ebike
I’ve been a Sickbiker subscriber now for a few years now, newer to the MTB Life and continued Periodic maintenance, Your channel is great and educational for DIY Riders. I bought a Brand new MTB With a SRAM 1x12 Eagle mechanical XO1 Drivetrain . Can I get some feedback on what to do either before and or after rides. Is there some kind of a pretreatment lubricants to apply to a new fresh Drivetrain ? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I wash my new chain in methanol and then add Squirt after each time the chain is wet. Works well for me. The cassette lasts 3-400 hours and on that time I have changed chain about 3 times.
I always thought that the jump from 42t to 52t would be a bit too much of a stretch. If I were to go the Eagle route would you still recommend the cassette with the 50t biggest cog? Since I am not 100% happy with Shimano 12 speed (although the ratios are not the issue there). I am thinking about which drivetrain to go for on a new AM frame I am gonna build up. Thanks!
I never understood why Sram stuff is so expensive when it has design flaws all over. Just try a SX rear mech and tell me it is on par with 12sp deore. Hell no.
Not needed the front mech, but you have to choose the right combo of parts, and everything is fine with 1x12 . I ride with shimano and sram combination, and works perfect. But you have to pay attention to not to change the gear under load.

Best breakdown of B gap I’ve come across - makes complete sense! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the knowledge Danny.
Great info! Thanks! Now I'm glad that I basically never use 1. or 2. gear.
The good news is that I never use the 52T sprocket. And if I ever have to use it, I would not shift under force anyway.

Useful tips 👍🏻

I did not enjoy Eagle 520% cassette. I sold it and got Eagle 500%. No problems since.
Stepping didn’t change
Lazy design
3:08 the chain is definitely wrong, never did the chain ever seat onto 1st gear

I noticed that chain does not fit on cassette teeth

I recommend the 50T jump
If not enough climbing support, reduce size of chain ring
You also shave some grams that way too 😂

Agree, as a mechanic working with both brands Sram does work but the tuning is much more finicky than Shimano, even in 11 or 10 gearing system.
Save the front derailleur...
are you still pulling your windows in your car per hand? Come one use your brain!
Front mech is nice for a road bike or for a commuter. For a mtb that you jump on? Nah, not any more.
@@komoonkh concur. Everything except hardcore off road.
@@Ghostina1 ........play nice....

Flickerling please adjust you Shutterspeed!
My problem with EAGLE Shifting? I have no problems, I use Shimano, since 1991🤔🤣
12s components are getting cheaper, but I don't see why should an amateur buy them. 1x8, 1x9, 1x10, 1x11 are really amazing systems nowadays.
Sram failure??? Say it ain't so!!!😂😂😂 XT for life!
sram x9 is laughing
@@statom985 . ZEE runs over x9. 😂
Ive gone down from a 51 tooth to a 45 tooth,sooo much better on an e bike!
