As an aside: has anyone gathered experience with non-advent components by Microshift?
I’m planning on installing a 1x 11s RD and shifter to my touring bike if the current IGH fails. Seems like their offering ticks all the boxes I want to check:
RD:
Shifter:
Cassette:
I hope that reliability and shifting is similar to advent X (I was originally attracted by the review on CT) or Shimano. Any thoughts?
Owner of the LBS I use rides Microshift on his road bike and loves it…not the exact stuff you linked to above, but probably indicative of what you’ll experience.
I was looking to build up a backup / travel bike with it, as well…but other opportunities arose and I got a different bike.
I would like to try one of these but 1 x 12 doesn’t appeal. Ingrid says they won’t work on 2 x 12 but apparently Shimano clutch derailleurs will?
If it helps I used an Ultegra RX clutch rear mech running a 11-36 cassette on a 2x set up with no problems at all.
Those Ingrid rear mechs look lovely but I’ve always been put off by the price.
Yes the price has held me back.
Empire, Empire Pro, and SRX are all compatible with SRAM Exact Actuation (MTB 10, Road 10/11)
