Title: Cage or quality? Post by: Terminator. on August 24, 2008, 20:15:38 PM I have 2 mechs and 2 bikes. Fusion terminator(DH duties) Giant STP (dj 4X duties)
Long cage X.0, Short cage X7 I have a dilema on which one to put on which bike though. Do I: A. put the X.0 on the Fusion and the X.7 on the STP B. Put the X.7 on the Fusion and the X.0 on the STP. What do you guys think would be ore suitable? Cheers, Lewis. Title: Re: Cage or quality? Post by: George! on August 24, 2008, 20:18:27 PM Long cage x -0 might be a bit dodgy for dh cos it could get caught... and them x - 0 's aint cheap
Title: Re: Cage or quality? Post by: Terminator. on August 24, 2008, 20:18:52 PM Yeh thats exactly what I was getting at bud, I can't see the performance of an X.7 being that inferior to an X.0 for dh?
Title: Re: Cage or quality? Post by: james... on August 24, 2008, 20:22:48 PM Sell them both and buy 2 X9s in short/medium cage
It gives you the best of both worlds really, strength and slick shifting. Title: Re: Cage or quality? Post by: rock3gozy on August 24, 2008, 20:24:47 PM Yup, X7 is a actually a medium cage (they only come in long or medium).
As above, ideal would be to get two super short x9's if your running single chainrings on both bikes- about £100 for a pair. Title: Re: Cage or quality?
