So, as the title states, what do you think? Shimano got kicked in the ass for the 173456374837538 time? 
Thoughts on the new Sram GX Eagle drivetrain? :)
- Thread starter hitar_potar
- Start date
Sunrace has a new 12sp 11-50 cassette in the pipeline, and even a 10-50 one which fits regular Shimano freehubs. They'll surely be sub-100 bucks.

Try it nao!
i think my 1x10 11:42/34 works wonderfully. fu lizards!
Am i seeing right that Sunraces has a rear derailleur and a shifter of its own, to complement its cassette and chain???
Yeah, but you are not a fat person riding a fat bike up mountains on 5" tires. There is clearly a market for 28x50.
450g cassette...yeesh.
my opinion on eagle remains the same. if you need that much range, you need to run a front derailleur.
If I ever get back to riding more often, I want to grab a SRAM 11sp cassette as their weight is truly phenomenal. I still prefer shimano shifting though.

I've head rumors that bike mfgr's are making frames that you can't even PUT a FD on...
WHAT? Next thing, they'll put a motor in there and continue to try and pass them off as mountain bikes.I've head rumors that bike mfgr's are making frames that you can't even PUT a FD on...
Definitely true. I don't miss them in the slightest.I've head rumors that bike mfgr's are making frames that you can't even PUT a FD on...
I am going bald, but that's just weight savings/aerodynamic improvementsYeah... but you're young... and not fat.
I'm old and fat and I rock a 11-46 Sunrace cassette, 32t N/W ring. I'm able to climb along with my younger pals and smoke 'em on the way down, thanks to the added inertial massYeah... but you're young... and not fat.
.Fd will never be as chain-drop-free as a single ring with a guide! Also the cockpit becomes pretty busy with both a front shifter and a dropper-remote. And then there's the funny fact about repeated ratios on a 2x-drivetrains...
Are your younger pals a bunch of lazy, whiny-assed Millenials? It kinda sounds like it.I'm old and fat and I rock a 11-46 Sunrace cassette, 32t N/W ring. I'm able to climb along with my younger pals and smoke 'em on the way down, thanks to the added inertial mass
Either that or your sandbagging with the "old and fat" claim.
Nailed it!
The FD direct mount covers / beer openers are going to be missed.I've head rumors that bike mfgr's are making frames that you can't even PUT a FD on...
oh the irony of a fatbike tire named "b nimble . . ."
y u not just?The FD direct mount covers / beer openers are going to be missed.
or?
Meh, was 26 out of 98 on a 40 mile gravel grinder a few weeks back on it. I know those bastards were drafting behind me, so I intentionally took the crazy loose inside-berms on the turns. To see so many dinky cross bikes go behind me was worth it.
It's my training bike anyway. Just stand up and sprint and nothing will feel hard on race day on a normal bike.

Seriously why!? I mean, your bike has pedals, right?oh the irony of a fatbike tire named "b nimble . . ."

Hmmm, if the big news is GX Eagle, what would happen to X1? I understand they went straight to GX level in order to reduce the price, but what would happen to X1? Is it staying 11-speed, or is it going the 12 ratios-route as well?
Ask the people riding 45lb fatbikes with 5" tires up mountains in the summer time. It's their fault.
Mebee I better git me one !I figured those 50 tooth cassette sprockets were made so fat guys can climb
Ditto
worth noting they have some rad looking DH cassettes; 7 spd for use with 10 or 11spd chains
Yup, noted them as well. Nice finish on the black ones.
X1 goes to 8-speed-only and gets a permanent E attached to the front of it, is my guess.
out of curiosity, why? i rarely if ever need a 10t cog, but now that's it an accepted "standard", it's hard to hold a grudge. It's also a better option than shimano's "throw it over the spokes" design.
