Last year we tested the Bombtrack Hook EXT, an adventure bike that we really loved, this year we have a new one with one major difference... it's been on an all carbon fibre diet
One of the talking points for a 1x system is that there is "less to go wrong". Funny, I've done mud XC mtb races where my rear der. was so caked in mud and along with the cables that it no longer shifted. You know what was still working? My front derailleur. My experience is that this point about removing your front der. being more trouble free is simply wrong.
Thanks for the review. I was wondering, how y’all are you and what size frame was it. Was the stand over height good? I’m 5’8” and torn between the Small and Medium.
