I do mostly trail riding and don't need as much travel as this bike has but that is one sexy looking beast!

Well I'm glad my pole polishing entertained some of you with inuendo and autocorrect errors.

I rode the bike for 6 hours on Wednesday and can confirm that the link glide is sweet indeed. Crisp clean shifting, shifting under power was smooth and I didn't crunch any gears. I'm impressed. It worked way better out of the box without any adjustment other than setting up the stops than the shitty gx ever did.

I installed link-glide on 21 turbo levo pro, shifts well, but not enough miles to gauge durability, but the group set cost slightly more that a new cassette. Riding on the sandy trails of Cape Code I was seeing a new cassette every season, perhaps 300 miles.

Warm Regards Ruti

I’ve done ~300 miles on linkglide so far, no signs of wear at all.

Btw, factory zeb mudguard is complete waste of money, except for looking good it does almost nothing. I ride in dry desert mostly and was getting constantly hit in the face with sand and small rocks with it. It depends on front tire too, I’m using assguy front lol.

I ended up getting most compact VisionVelo one. It’s so much better, as it protrudes forward too and stops stuff from flying in your face, and your legs/frame. It’s almost factory fit.
