SRAM XX1 details released
- Thread starter drystonepaul
- Start date
Agreed. I was in Wales last week, on what I consider a proper MTB ride (not trail centre) and 1x11 would not have done the job for me on that terrain.
I believe that 1x10/11 is being pushed by the manufacturers, just because it is difficult to fit a 3 ring set-up on a 29er and still keep the chain-stays short enough for it to handle as neatly as a 26 inch wheel bike.
They've ditched the slant parallelogram, so much like all the old derailleurs before SunTour invented it in 1964. :roll:
And I have to say, that SRAM XX1 is one FUGLY derailleur. :shock:
Also, why is it called XX1, 21 in roman numerals, when there are only 11 gears. :?
