dunno. But this is an 11sp system, with a KMC chain.
New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

I think they're all in on quick links now. Their 11s quick link came out well after they'd launched 11s drivetrains IIRC, hence the period of overlap.
Industry lizards still dislike.
I did the same thing and have been running a chain with two quick links for hundreds of miles and it's been fine. Do it.
I use multiple quick links when it makes sense.
No to 12 speed pins, they do not think they will have integrity at that width (or so I read somewhere or another)
This and you shouldn't use more than an 11 tooth upper pully. To get the best chain wrap.
I use the line on the back of the XT derailleur to set mine, also seem to have better luck setting the derailleur when the suspension is in sagged position.

a trek? really?
Random cool story bro - I recently got a 50tooth cassette and 12 speed Shimano derailleur, which I setup following this and aligned it all up according to that line. Shifting just didn't work with it set like that, I had to make it much closer. Amazingly how one or two turns of that screw can have such a big effect on the shifting.
Yep, I disregard any instructions and turn the screw till it works.
A friend of mine bought it new rode it for 6 months and made me an incredible deal on it. Like less than half of retail. Couldn't turn it down. Normally Trek would not be my go to, it does ride very well though. Knock Block is really dumb.a trek? really?
You can replace the lower headset cup and race to get rid of the knockblock.
Are you bringing a bike?
Why did I have to look at the Flat Pedal Thread? I just got dentisty and ordered some of these-
Ball bearings and a grease port sold me, I hate maintenance.

New Assegai, Fillmore Valves, and 220mm rotor on the Sled. Stoked to go for a rip.
EDIT: Also put on a 203 rear rotor, because if I run 180/220, I surely would explode in a fiery train crash.

Didn't know that Shimano made 220mm rotors. Interesting that the aluminum spider is so small and not even part of the 6 bolt version. Other "levels" to follow?
I haven't seen one of these in person, but I'm wondering if there are other changes to the 220 to prevent warping etc.
I don't think I would have tried it if it were ice-tech, but it's plain old steel.
shimano's 220 rotors were originally launched for cargo bikes, but it looks now like they have quietly rolled them out as deore and SLX. for some reason the deore is centerlock and the SLX is 6 bolt.

I think as the rotors get super big like this thicker is a good idea not just from heat capacity aspect, but to resist bending too. 2.0 seems like a decent min. Magura is doing that. TRP 2.3.
Recipe for lotsa noisy brakes unless the manufacturers ALL move to wider calipers as well.
I've been running 2.0 thick Galfer rotors on my Orbea and been pretty happy with them, but with the lower clearances I had to spend a lot more time setting them up & making damn sure the rotors were straight (most rotors have a faint wobble fresh out of the box I've found).

they are quite wobbly, mine came prebend from the factory. waiting now for those new galfer ones
