Cool.. TBH im not that familiar with sram casettes.. My other bike is Microslpine... What is compatible with the freehub I have ? Does sram have it on lockdown to themselves only ? Im aware ill need a shifter, derailuer, chain and probably new chainring.. Basically everything I guess which sucks..

I do have hills just the majority of it is flat.. Also I dont have any shuttle service at the park so Id have to bike up.. Also I dont mind changing the ring up front..

Heres whats on it !!

Hey guys/gals So I got a lovely downhill bike at an absolute steal last week that came with a 1x7 sram xd setup... I bike quite a distance on the flats to spots so this isnt going to cut it at all.. Considering I got the bike for cheap id like to keep it lowkey on the expenditures... Its...

Yeah ive seen them before, too expensive for the layman though... For that price you could probably buy a press and do it yourself.. https://eur.vevor.com/hydraulic-shop-press-c_10088/vevor-hydraulic-shop-press-6-ton-with-press-plates-h-frame-benchtop-press-stand-p_010739784408

Any chance anybody with a similar fork or the same said fork would know if theres much clearance to run a 27.5 on these beasts.. Im trying out a conversion on an orange alpine 160 from 2009 thats a 26r... Loads of room in the back swingarm for a 27 it looks like, the chain and seat stays are...

Theres several suspension designs

My guess is they said if we throw all the grip positions onto one bar, everybody will be happy kinda philosophy..:LOL:

ill take this any day !!!

Funny, I just watched Sam pilgrims latest video, and hes going on about his new canyon and how its the best looking bike ever [ I know he says that with every bike he gets because hes paid to say so ] BUT imo its one of the worst bikes ive ever seen.. And very typical of the kind of bike I cant...

Tried there configurator tool and it said the selection I chose was not in stock..

Yeah but j bends not straight pull

I forgot to mention the spokes are straight pull, which also narrows the selection.. I think this is what I need.. realistically all I can find that might be a straight swap.. Its 12x142 but there is another listing that seems to have 135 axles for this hub linked also below...
