Hi
Thinking of buying the above. My reasoning is that I won't need a chain tensioner just the top guide, something like an ethirteen xcx. This will hopefully tidy and lighten things up.
Anyone using one of these and how are you getting on with it.
Cheers
Craig

missus has just swapped form a Shimano clutch to a SRAM X9 (couldn't throw all that cash at a rock magnet)

It's as solid the chain slap is non existent really, hard to move by hand. No on/off like the shimano so less chance of riding off with it in the wrong mode. Overall looks good and functional.

I'm using a standard X9 at the moment, just thinking of a change.....cash burning hole in pocket syndrome me thinks 😉

Get x9, I have got one and chain slap is reduced. Easy wheel in/out, why spend so much more on the x0. Running 1x10 and haven't lost a chain yet! So either im not pushing hard enough or the mech is doing its job!
