Worldwide Cyclery Still running the original box one and love it, I broke my first one but my second one is working really great. My next bike I will probably use a box one shifter with a Shimano derailer
I’d probably run box components on a second bike if/when I get one. I like the fact I can easily get replacement Shimano parts and I’m planning on building a hybrid Eagle setup for my main bike.
I've been running the Box drive train for about 5 months. No issues and always reliable. Get lots of comments on it. Seth Bike Hacks is we're I got the inspiration to support a small company and try something different.
Contrary to your post, I had the first gen box 1 with the cam clutch and it had weak knuckle since it snapped in half. Luckily for me they replaced the entire derailluer with their updated model, which was significantly beefier and has their tripack clutch. Unfortunately with my luck after a few rides I had the high limit screw get bashed out by the derailluer, stripping the body. No other issues or damage done. Even though box doesn't cover stripped parts, or bent parts under warranty, they still replaced the body of the derailluer. Customer service wise I think this is the best out there. Hopefully I have no more issues from here on out 🤞, and am even considering getting their new prime 9.
I've been running the Box Two E-bike 9 speed for 2 years on my Specialized FatBoy and have not had any issues with it and love the simplicity of of having 9 speeds and the range of Eagle.
I've been running the box two 11-46 drivetrain for 6 months as a replacement for my worn out shimano slx. Absolutely love it, setup was simple, shifting is smooth and quick and the pivot-tech feature actually works as I found out the hard way. Highly recommend giving this a try!
I've run into Toby a couple of times on the Fullerton Loop. Cool, down to earth guy. It's a shame that interesting push-push shifter got hemmed up with patent nonsense from a company that won't even produce it. I'd try a Box drivetrain for sure.
Yeah Toby is one good dude. And you are right, bummer about that original shifter. @Matthew Vale, he is referring to a shifter Box made and then had to pull from the market about a year ago.
@@WorldwideCyclery yeah I knew that they weren't making the original shifter anymore but didn't realise that they stopped making it due to a patent problem : /
Personally I’ve always been a shimano guy switched to sram. Toby Henderson is a living freaking legend. I’m willing to give it a try on my next N+1 lol
I was the service manager of a bike shop a couple decades ago. I called THE to order some number plates and Mr. Henderson himself answered the phone. We talked for a while about nonsense, and then I placed the order. I thought it was really cool he answers his own phones. He’s very hands on. You can buy with confidence.
I've always been a Shimano kind of guy, but if I manage to get them on my country I'll surely give them a try whenever I need a new drivetrain, looks awesome and it's always good to support the new brands out there :)
I just converted my 2x10 fat bike SLX drivetrain to a box one 11 speed (rd, shifter, chain, & box two cassette). Honestly, it is a bit overkill for what I do with the bike, but I got a deal I couldn't resist. With that said, it has been flawless so far. I am seriously considering upgrading my m6000 drivetrain to a box one 11 speed on my mtb even though I have no reason to.
Just put the Box Two on my Hightower. The only thing I’m not crazy about is there’s quite a large “dead zone” in the upshifts. But other than that I love how much feedback you get. Feels similar to shimano shifting.
I run one of the push-push shifters and absolutely love it. I'm one of those weird people who prefer it over Sram or Shimano shifters. It's a real shame that they discontinued it.
Couldn’t really afford a new bike. Have an old ‘07 Giant Anthem 1 26” wheel that is in really good condition but I have always hated the 3x drivetrain. Decided to upgrade to a 1x with a Box 2 drivetrain. Up front is a Wolf Tooth 38 wide/narrow that bolted right onto the old triple. Removed the front derailleur and as it was a triple, the chain line is maintained. The cassette is 11-46 and with replacement of the old cable housing and realigning the hangar this setup has been really nice! Since the original video, they have made a bracket to integrate with Shimano brake levers (really simple to install). I was worried about the clearance with the 26” wheel and while it is not optimal clearance; it will allow me to get a few more years out of the Giant. Very happy with the new setup!
Loving what they're doing and their support of Seth. Currently on SRAM but I'll go to Box as these bits fail. Hoping to drop the coin on a set of their carbon bars too.
I'm runnimg the Box One derailleur with an XT M8000 shifter. It's 100% compatible and works awesome. Hopefully the clutch lasts longer on the box than on my last 2 XT derailleurs.
I legit just installed this drivetrain with the 11-50t cassette. I did have to do 2 warranty claims on my shifter but 3 times the charm, I very much like the drive train.
First I have been a Shimano XT guy for years! Bomb proof performance! When they came out with the 11-46, I was building a new bike. So I went 1X for the first time. Liked it but not love. I felt the spread was wrong and I need a 32t front to make some climbs still. So in comes BOX 11-46 with a more even spread!!! Much better!!! Then I tried a 34t oval up front to help with climbing. Now I love my drive train! Oh forgot Box cassettes shift smoother with Sram chains than Shimano!
It seems like they all work good now days and they all seem to last a while unlike the 90's. I will continue to use 10spd saint with 11/36 cassettes though. For east coast riding I never found a need to go much under a 1to1 gear ratio.
I have a box11-46 casette with xt derailleur on my bike because the progression between speeds (if i can call it that way) feels better than the xt casette. It’s a couple of grams heavier than xt but i can live with that and the black color looks way better.
I still have the original box one shifter. Its my favorite design for a shifter, and it'll be a sad day if it ever breaks or wears out because it's no longer available due to a lawsuit from shimano I think claiming patent infringement.
I have the box one set up and I do like it a lot,I do get the looks why that set up and not that usuals. I really like the cassette close ratio for me it seems to best ratio instead of jumping from 42 to 50 I run the 11/46.
I bought the whole drivetrain for my train bike, replaced a full XT drivetrain. Its friggin cold here in ontario canada right now so I havent ridden it, but it installed and setup incredibly easy and the parts feel very robust. I bought it simply becuase I wanted to try something different. The price point is actually very good. Im %99 sure the cassettes are built by Sunrace. I have an 11-64 from each and they are absolutely identical.
I’ve been running the Box One derailleur with the 11-46 cassette and the Box Two shifter. The real Achilles heel seems to be the shifter. It requires a lot of travel to dump multiple gears. I’ve since replaced the Box shifter with a Shimano XT shifter and it has been great. Considering I had to swap out the shifter and the price between Box Two components and Shimano XT are virtually within a few dollars of each other, it’s hard to make a case to go with Box in my eyes.
If I find myself needing a new drivetrain, I'd definitely consider their shifter and derailleur. I'm on XD drivers on all my wheels, so I'd go with e*13's cassette.
I love the Box 2 design if I ever get to the point where I am able to afford a new bike build I will throw the Box 2 on it just because I love their shifter and clutch. Maybe one day (head in the clouds)
I would definitely be interested in using a Box drive train. I have run both Sram and Shimano and like the idea of using a different brand. I have heard good reports about it. Any idea who the UK importer is for Box? Do they do one for an XD driver? Love the channel btw👊
What is going on with your jacket? Did you just tape the Worldwide logo onto a zip up hoodie? The logo doesn't have a gap in it for the zipper. Drive train cool too. But my main focus of this video was trying to figure out your hoodie.
I am actually planning on a Box drivetrain on my next bike build. My one question is, are the cassettes made by SunRace? It does look quite like their cassettes, and the ranges are the same.
Yep the box cassettes are re-branded Sunrace, no bad thing though, I run the Sunrace 11-46 awesome so far. Sunrace bought out Sturmey Archer in 2000, and that company has been making bike components since 1902
@@bluestraycat I run a SunRace in the same range as you and I totally agree. I have it paired with a 34 tooth chainring and love it. The gear spread is a lot better than my SLX cassette of the same range.
It would be awesome if box could make a version of their Two rd that would work with Shimano road shifter pull ratio for gravel bikes. I'm thinking it would be a hit with the people that don't want to run SRAM or use a tanpan with Shimano.
I've just bought the box 2 prime 9. I want to se if it can handle the Scottish weather. Interesting to hear about the replacement warrenty as I have a realy tight link in my chain. I emailed them today, I'll hear what they have to say.
Just ordered a box 2 groupset for my marlin 7, We will see how it goes. Almost feel silly considering the price is about 200 less than the bike but Im giving it a whirl
I'd stay away from Box. We are very competent, couldn't get it to work. Took it to THREE local shops...they can't get it to reliably shift and all just shrugged. One gave us our money back on their service fee. We live in Boulder...these are some of the best shops in the country. Box support won't answer any emails or return phone calls. Wasted our 'saving' by not going SRAM on bike shop fees. BTW, previous SRAM setup on the bike worked fine, just had swapped that gear to another bike.
Oldish video now, but I just put the 11-46 set on my bike...first time changing a drivetrain and it went smooth and easy. I like it a lot, but I am curious about which crankset and chainring you would recommend. It looks like Box makes BMX cranks...I’m curious if that would work...at 5’7” I’m thinking 165mm crank...also need to find brake levers that work well with the shifter... I bit the bullet and bought the drivetrain cause I was putting my cassette and derailer onto my sons bike, since he broke his...
Lots of options! Depending on price range and type of bike I'd look at the Raceface line. Chester, Atlas, Turbine R, Next Sl etc. Oh and for a ring, Wolf Tooth are my favorite. Feel free to reach out to our team if you have any questions - info@worldwidecyclery.com - 805-375-4525
I’d only try it if they made a grip shifter because I’m a weirdo and actually love my GX twisty thingy. My occasional bent cog from being able to rip through gears that fast can be a downer but cassettes don’t have feelings right? Really though. Do they?
@worldwidecyclery I have purchased Box 1 push push on eBay brand new. I am now looking at getting a Box 2 derailleur & boa 2 cassette 11-50. But my ? Is a lot of people say sunrace & Box cassette are exactly alike. But sunrace has a 12 speed cassette I was wondering would it work.
Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, that will not work. The shifter is really the brain of the whole shifting operation so if the shifter is only capable of 11 speeds then it will not work. If you got a 12-speed shifter and cassette, then you could probably get that work without changing the derailleur.
Is holding a bike in the stand by its dropper post upper stanchion safe? I've been told by a few different people who I would consider worth listening to that I should never ever do that.
@@WorldwideCyclery Thanks so much for the response. Well, as I trust the words of you guys I guess putting my bike up on the stand just got a little easier :-) Much appreciated, stay awesome.
got a box one prime 9, to replace the 11 speed downhill drive train my nukeproof came with. less gears more range, it still gets out of the way when I need it to and I can actually climb my 60 pound bike up a hill.
What about the Sunrace kit - how does that compare? I have been running the cassettes for a while and they are suberb so interested in the mech/shifters that they now do.
With the bike brand I ride all their mountain bikes come standard with sram XX1 11 speed drivetrain with a 10-42 cassette and I never find myself needing more gears so I would much rather have that instead of a NX or GX eagle.
just fitted box two setup, the 1st shifter lasted 100yards, the 2nd shifter failed during setup. shifter returned to distributor and they say the cable came off inside the shifter?? i dont get how this can happen, anyone had same issue? i really want this box stuff to work out but atm i dont trust it.
Living in the UK where would I get a replacement next day delivery if I broke something? When I break a XT mech or shifter i can have a new one same day or next day. (And it would be the same for SRAM).
Never buy anything from Box Components. They do not honor their warranties. My shifter broke during the warranty period. I submitted a warranty claim to be told that they had phased out the 11 speed line. They offered 30% off a new groupset or advised me to buy a Shimano 11 speed shifter. So they wanted me to spend more money with them or another company to honor their own warranty. Don’t waste your time on Box, find another company that actually stands behind their products.
I would definitely trry one if they had one to compete with my Shimano xtr on a 3x10 set up. Yes I said 3x10 o my hard tail XC bike lol. Nothing shifts as easy as it even to this day with all the new stuff out.
@@bluestraycat not saying it is a bad cassette, but you would waste money by buying it with a box logo. i see the box2 11-46 for sale for 98 euro, which is a whopping 50 euros more expensive as a sunrace 11-46
What do you think of Box Components? Would you run it on your bike? Let us know!
Worldwide Cyclery Still running the original box one and love it, I broke my first one but my second one is working really great. My next bike I will probably use a box one shifter with a Shimano derailer

I’d probably run box components on a second bike if/when I get one. I like the fact I can easily get replacement Shimano parts and I’m planning on building a hybrid Eagle setup for my main bike.
What about the pull-ratio? Can you mix and match a box shifter with a shimano/sram derailleur (or vice versa)

So will sunrace new 12 sp 10-52 work with box two derailleur & box 1 push push shifter
With the bike brand I ride all their mountain bikes come standard with sram XX1 11 speed drivetrain with a 10-42 cassette and I never find myself needing more gears so I would much rather have that instead of a NX or GX eagle.
just fitted box two setup, the 1st shifter lasted 100yards, the 2nd shifter failed during setup. shifter returned to distributor and they say the cable came off inside the shifter?? i dont get how this can happen, anyone had same issue? i really want this box stuff to work out but atm i dont trust it.
Ambitious and they plummeted down immediately
If in California get these components on a Mondraker and you will stand out from the crowd... Living in the UK not so much with the Mondraker.
What about their Prime 9? Same range less gears, leading to a stronger chain... plus who really uses all 11 or 12 gears?
Is this okay for a heavy 330lb man?
Are the thumbs down from the single speed crowd? 😆
Hahaha nice home alone robber on the computer
11 speed hah that’s a good one I’m still going 1x8 with a wide range cassette
What's HG Shimano freehub body?
I'm in
For me its shimano brakes and sram gears
Living in the UK where would I get a replacement next day delivery if I broke something? When I break a XT mech or shifter i can have a new one same day or next day. (And it would be the same for SRAM).
Sure. Send me a free sample and I'll give it a try! :)
Never buy anything from Box Components. They do not honor their warranties. My shifter broke during the warranty period. I submitted a warranty claim to be told that they had phased out the 11 speed line. They offered 30% off a new groupset or advised me to buy a Shimano 11 speed shifter. So they wanted me to spend more money with them or another company to honor their own warranty. Don’t waste your time on Box, find another company that actually stands behind their products.
I would definitely trry one if they had one to compete with my Shimano xtr on a 3x10 set up. Yes I said 3x10 o my hard tail XC bike lol. Nothing shifts as easy as it even to this day with all the new stuff out.
HAHAHAHAHA THE THIEF OF HOME ALONE HAHAHHAHA LMAOOO
SRAM 12 spd is nothing but problems, crunching gears all the time, missed shifts and extremely noise. Less is more, I want to try this 11 spd.
Just bought the NX eagle cassette, 2weeks ago, not yet fitted... If I knew this was coming out, would of tried this... Kinda gutted.
Home Alone?
the box cassette is pretty much a more expensive sunrace cassette though
Yes it is just a re-branded Sunrace cassette. What's wrong with that though? I'm running the Sunrace (Box)! 11-46 and it's awesome so far!
@@bluestraycat not saying it is a bad cassette, but you would waste money by buying it with a box logo. i see the box2 11-46 for sale for 98 euro, which is a whopping 50 euros more expensive as a sunrace 11-46
