I am not happy with single front chainring! I equipped my ONZA PAYOFF with a 32 chainring and a cassette 11-46 in the back. On normal xc rides l was missing more pressure on the pedals and so l changed the chainring into a 34. That was a positive increase in performance but not the royal result. On my Bergamont carbon frame l took off the 1×11 and replaced it by a SRAM X0 2×10, 36/26 in the front and 11-36 in the back which was for me a positive ran back in the past. SRAM feels more like Campagnolo!!!Β
With Shimano brakes l did not have good luck so l use local products from Magura, MT7/T5. They brake like the reverse off an MD11!
By the way l read that SRAM products are developed in Germany by Sachs in Schweinfurt. Is that true?

Please can you compare or tell about the comparison of Shimano deore and SRAM X7 hubs?
For the latest design of the UNIQUE BIKE GEAR SYSTEM (very confidential design) all parts are available on bike stores. It is do it yourself (DIY) installation wherein all the parts can be installed to common bike frame within 1 hour or less. There’s no need to modify the bike frame.
We can make a business : " Installation Of The Invention To Common Bike "
The total cost of parts to be installed per bike = 12 usd
The total labor cost for installation = 30 usd .
The total amount for material and installation = 12+30= 42 usd. We can share 50 / 50 from profit = 30/2 = 15 usd.
Who wants to invest ?
Note:
I did not show yet my final design/prototype…very confidential.
The final design is 40 % reduced in manufacturing/assembly of these parts because i was able to reduce more the parts and improved the location. All parts are already available on market, DIY assembly in just 1 hour .
with current day, 2020, shimano drivetrains, they are much closer to sram in terms of responsiveness and in my opinion i’m with shimano all the way around the bike. brakes and drivetrain. the great thing about shimano’s newer stuff is that for one, their brakes are more reliable and more powerful. Their drivetrain too has hyperglide+ which routes the chain up and down the cassette way faster and smoother. ANOTHER benefit of hyperglide+ is that you can REALLY crunch through the gears with shimanos stuff because hyperglide actually works better with more tension and torque going thru the drivetrain. thats why ebikes are starting to be speccd with almost only shimano drivetrains nowadays.

That’s Sooo Sad. That Shimano followed SRAM on making a cheaper, less versatile drive train for modern bicycles. Why did they downgrade themselves?
motorboy1966on October 8, 2020 at 4:00 am
Sram goes from 42 to 50 gear. I would hate that gap. My xt 12 goes from 45 to 51, better gap ratio for me….

My bikes is coming with a sram sx eagle set and it has been recommended to me that I swap the derailleur out for a shimano xt derailleur. Would this work and would I need to change the shifter?
Bike-Cave-Manon October 8, 2020 at 4:05 am
My experience for different groups from both brands:
Sram: Just install, give it a tiny little bit cable tension -> Shifts through all cogs like a dream with little to no effort at all.
Shimano: Spend your time trying to set it up perfectly but when the large cogs are perfect, the lower are crap and otherwise -> Then drop it and install Sram to make it work.

Bike-Cave-Manon October 8, 2020 at 4:09 am
Sram for shifting on all bikes here. Sram/Avid for braking.
Tried Shimano and a Tektro once, the bleed always results in a tiny bit of mineral oil getting out of the caliper and a tiny drop is enough to mess up everything. Resulting in no stopping power at all. What you safe on service time with Shimano brakes you spend on lot of cans of degreaser.
This doesnt happen with proper DOT fluids so I abandoned mineral oil based brakes in general.

However, I used to have a shimano drivetrain, but on my salsa I have SRAM SX eagle, and it is 110% better. So I think sram is best for going ig, and shimano for stopping
