Now after owning the new transmission; I am underwhelmed. I own EMTBs with both SRAM electronic systems and one with XTR. I would take the XXO electric system first with the new shifter module the the XTR system ( the simplicity is worth something) then last the new transmission. I never...
I own both and I would not spend retail for the new stuff. At first I liked it but after two months the shifting needs adjustment. It also shifts slow compared to the original.

In addition the Pivot has the latest firmware update that is fantastic. I was going to sale this bike (Pivot) but now I am keeping it and selling my...
