i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me!
You make some excellent videos, you should have way more subs than you do. Keep up the hard work, and I'm sure your channel will do well. I very much need a drivetrain, so I'd love to win the giveaway. I have a bike much like the one you fixed up for your friend, It's actually weird how similar they are. It's around a 2006 XC full suspension bike with a Fox fork. I am pretty happy with it, as it's hard to find decent used bikes where I live, and I cant afford to spend $2,000+ on a new one. It is great to own a full suspension, but my 2006 Deore XT drivetrain is extremely worn out. If I put any torque on the pedals when accelerating, the chain completely slips over the gears on the cassette, causing the pedals to jolt forward. It happens through every gear after the first 2 easiest gears. A new drivetrain would certainly bring my bike back to life.
Bro i am building a retro free ride bike but I need a drivetrain. If I win my wife won’t kill me for spending more money on bike parts. That drivetrain would literally save my life hahaha
Both manufacturer's drivetrains always felt the same to me. But since i totally prefer Shimano brakes over Sram, I just use Shimano drivetrains for the i-spec EV.
Are you sure about that? What about the NX Derailleurs being lose and shakey where you end up having to replace the washer rings to prevent the derailleur from shaking/flopping around
Great review! I have been looking to upgrade to a 1x. Have been looking at the NX! But you may have changed my mind. I would have gotten already. But with kids and life. Extra $ for dad is not an easy thing. 😉.
I'm about to buy a new NX group set this week I don't know if anything's changed over the years with how they've made it but I hope I don't regret it now I'm wondering if I should go to GX but I have that Shimano free hub that is compatible with so I don't know what I'd have to do to switch to GX
The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.
Where are the weight differences? You should weigh and compare each component. the main difference will probably be in the Casette 12sp vs 11sp. SRAM shifting is always superior to Shimano so I don’t believe you there. especially in muddy conditions another thing you didn’t test. That makes your video biased towards Shimano. Shimano is very good cost but also lacks longevity another point you haven’t raised or tested. I think you could have done a more thorough test
It's funny because you're stating the opposite of reality with each sentence. Deore is not only more reliable, lighter and cheaper, it also has a much superior shifting feel and stays in tune forever so you don't have to mess with it. Can't say the same for SRAM stuff below X01. Shimano is just on another level and always has been. And if you get into XT or XTR, there's no need to even think about SRAM ever again.
As great as comparing these two is. Honestly both of these for the price are excellent and even tho I always prefer shimano if my complete bike is coming with either of these I’m happy. Because both quality components and it doesn’t hurt as much when I need to replace parts or wear the whole thing out. Performance may be improved in the higher level models but not to the point where the price difference is worth it
In my opinion a think SRAM is better to shimano just because from looking at my mates bikes and comparing each when I went on it just felt like the chidr was a lot smoother
I would love a deore because you know Shimano has clutches. Sram have clutches but they wear out quickly And there not very good to begin with I currently have a Sram 11 speed System that is dying
“I mainly mountain bike to meet female nurses” SRAM for the win! The bike in my profile pic is currently dead with no bottom bracket and a smashed rear Tourney derailleur! 😜
I just found out that Specialized upgraded their drivetrain for the Sirrus X 3.0 from 1x9 microSHIFT Advent to the 1x10 Shimano Deore for the 2021 model. overall i really like the bike but I feel like its missing something at that top end and the microSHIFT Advent is just clunky, multiple issues with the crank and chain drops. just feel like i need to try something new.
I own a 2021 (or 2020) Cannondale which has the M5100 groupset, but the latest model also has Microshift. No experience with that, but can't imagine its a upgrade
nx is dogshit tbh the derailleur just jumps around on rough terrain makes me think my chainstay broke or sth,horrible.Deore on the other hand has a better clutch much more quiet.Shifting is also better on shimano HG system.
I have Scott Scale 960 with sram nx 12 speed cassette that only after one month have play and makes terrible noises. It is complete junk. I had cheep 26'' bike with shimano alivo drive train, which I have ridden for 10 years without any issues.
So I’ve got a cousin I’m trying to get to ride with me and IV offered to tune up his bike , but it hasn’t been tuned or maintained in years. So I’m thinking he will need a new drivetrain . Please help me get him out on the trails , I just got back into bike after 15 years off them, and he’s been off his bike for about ten. So I know it needs some tlc. Mine was stolen about 14 years ago , so this past summer I got a new one to ride . But this coming season I want a riding buddy , help me prep one :) . And yes I’d like to see a long term run down on the durability of the two drivetrains. Keep the videos coming!
Watching this video for a second time. But for different reasons. I have now bought a bike. It came with the sram 11 speed. After a ride I still don’t like the shifters and want to switch to Shimano. I’m looking to pickup a shimano shifter and derailleur and use on the same chain & cassette. Any known issues with this?
Hey! I own a 2021 Giant Talon 3. I want to upgrade from my current 2x7 groupset to Deore M5100 1x11 groupset. Do I have to change the wheelset and rear hub?
@@ventador7761 sure. U can get deore M 475 rear hub or any mtb rear hub with free hub body. Any hub that supports anything above 8s will be right for you. But please make sure the no of spoke holes Match your wheel. Sometimes it can be expensive to buy a hub, new spokes and built the rear wheel so it might make more sense to buy a brand new rear wheel from decathlon or a bike shop. It may cost less than building up your wheel. 😁
“You off to ride the singletrail?” No, I’m married. I’m going mountain biking. Ps it would be replacing my sx eagle drivetrain to wich I can return (besides crankset) and you can do another giveaway. I literally just put my new bike together a couple weeks ago haven't even bedded in the brakes gatta love winter)
I've tried that but with an SX and it doesn't work well. It works at first but after some time the chain starts jumping around and it stops working well
That’s exactly what I’m doing M5100 derailleur M8000 shifter XT chain ( recommend a lot) M5100 crankset M5100 11-51T cassette Waiting for Crankset stock over here in the UK.
Have you seen the new bike fad? Carbon fiber toilet paper: it’s lighter, stiffer, and stronger, so it’s 33% more resistant against post-ride Taco Bell...excretions.
Really cool content like how professional and unbiased you are, I could do with drivetrain for a friend who bike is stuck single speed because its old and shifter is broke etc
Deore any day... avoid any of the SX, NX and GX SRAM Eagle stuff - ride nicely but fall apart. Have you wiggled a SRAM 12 speed rear derailleur lately? Seems only the top 2 echelon products are designed to last...shame
It depends. If it's just the standard hg freehub on your bike than you can use any brand cassette but sram and shimano do have there own standard for freehubs. Sram is the xd driver, looks like a almost smooth body. Shimano has there microspline freehub. Xd and microspline are not interchangeable. And there only made that way to have a tooth count lower than 11 by essentially making the freehub just a tad bit smaller in there own way.
Yep I have the same problem! I bought a new bike with NX drivetrain. First ride was perfect no chainslap, nothing. Since then Ive only ridden maybe 250km and the clutch is already weaker and my chain slaps to the frame. I wanted to give sram a chance but this is unacceptable for me.
Would be interested in the update on the NX. Just got a bike with NX and have a lot of negative stuff about it, not sure if a lot of the issues come as it wears in or if they are present from new. My intention is to race XC with the bike, hoping to get the season out of it and then in the winter swap out the derailleur, shifter, chain and cassette for SLX or XT, which would save some decent weight and seem to be very positively reviewed. Thinking of keeping the NX crank and just swapping to a Shimano compatible chain ring.
@@Fred_the_1996 Its a Norco Revolver FS 2. So far so good, only one XC race in my area this season but have put >1000kms of trail riding on it. I had a typo in my first comment should have said "have heard a lot of negative stuff" Still intend to upgrade to GX/X01 components as things wear out an break if it comes to that before I pick up a new pick but other than being a bit rough and noisy shifting it has held up and worked fine so far.
Would love to upgrade my sons Giant bike with either one of these drivetrains. He has a hard time climbing with his 7 speed and this would be a huge upgrade for him. Thanks.
@@ernestooswaldohoffmanndeol4999 Minha bike veio com sram SX, mas achei muito ruim a precisãoe principalmente para descer do cog de 50 para o de 42, demorava uma eternidade. Coloquei o deore para testar e meu cassete e corrente eram novos, então mantive sram e vou deixar para colocar o cassete deore quando for trocar o sram, aí troco o cubo também, pois o meu não é compatível, já que o sram é 11-50
I have a shimano and the new bike i am looking at at 3k has nx. A friend had nx and i felt it war hard and not as smooth as the shimano. I know it is eagle but i need smoothness and precision and shimano has that at the demore level. Im afraid of spending more money and not getting somehting in not gonna be confortable. And I can't test it...
I’m in the same situation, I wanna buy the NX because I prefer more sram but I never tested it so I don’t know what to spend my money on sram or SHIMANO
@@zencro-bs9506 I finally bought a Enduro cqrbon frame from specialized which came with sram GX. I had a really hard time with the shifting from the beginning. Speacilized couldn't make it work right taking there once or twice. I tried another mechanic and did better but after a while I discovered it was the long chain. Finally that mechanic was able to fix it and I haven't had any major problems with it since then. I can say having a 10 gear shimano deore and 12 gx sram, shimano remains softer and agile. While sram at the gx level is precise and works as expected. I can tell you everything about the bike and the shifting but... after watching some canyon bikes, trek, and others pass by me or owners talk to me. I think the big difference comes to life expectancy and quality. The more you spend, the more durable of a product you will obtain. And the more expensive it is to fix. If it was up to me. I would probably stay with shimano (because I like the softness of it and the easy setup and leave it alone) and try to go up on the shimano scale. But really either company is fine. At the end we all get used to what we get.
@@zencro-bs9506 one more thing. Sram doesn't stay right for too long. It tends to want to be maintained more often. Take into account that the marin i had and the enduro that I have now work under two different conditions, one more on trails, the other more under enduro trails You could say the enduro takes more of a beating (gx) but the other (shimano deore) just stays well put and precise for too long (like for months without touching it and it works perfectly. And I love that about shimano)
@@rafaelparedes1937 Thanks For answering me. Now u changed my mind. One question, should i get a shimano xt or slx? Or Sram gx cuz i wanna Buy One of these transmissions quick
@zencro-bs9506 shimano has 4 levels. 1. Alivio 2. Deore 3. SLX 4.DeoreXT. I've had 2.deore and it worked perfectly for florida and NJ trails. 10 gears. Now when you go 12 gears, the mechanics have to be more precise, that's probably why I feel the Sram GX is giving me a harder time with the setup and taking it more often to the mechanic. So this depends on your riding style. If you want a reliable product for normal trails, no fancy enduro terrain, you will be fine with shimano SLX and sram NX. If you are riding more enduro trails with more rocks, more crashes and just more demanding in general. Then sram Gx or shimano XT are your options. As for me, I do ride enduro trails but I am not any good by any means, that means i give my bike a hard time and rely on it quite a bit. I use GX ar the moment, but probably will end up with. Shimano XT on my next bike. I just have had such good experiences with the deore that it is hard for me to change my mind, and gx has not proven to be as set it and forger it. It wants to visit the mechanic more often...
With the Deore 5100 any upgrade option is excluded, there is no better compatible part. So for thisreson only I would chose the NX where anytime you can change just one part to World cup level.
M5100 is compatible with xt and slx shifters and derailleurs. It's even compatible with sram nx stuff if you prefer a sram shifter or already have a sram cassette.
@@chairmanmeow8388 M5100 is 11 speed system. Therefore any upgrade with new parts is excluded, you ca match with older slx, xt, xtr -s but those do not handle the 51 cog (max 46) rear chainring, so you have to put a goatlink . As I said: going with the NX you get the already 12 system so you can buy any sram eagle part or even shimano 12 speed components can be compatible
@@chairmanmeow8388 ok then why do we have the M6100? and why not just use the M5100 mech in a M6100 setup. And by the way shimano 12 speed chain inner with is also narrower so for best performance you also need the right chainring.
Great video! Always have been a big fan of Shimano but SRAM is easily catching up to them. Looking forward to see how both drivetrains fare out long term. Will be waiting on that video! Hopefully I can win the drivetrain so I can update my 9 speed and finally upgrade to a 1x drivetrain. Keep it up bud!
Shimano had a better granny gear? Definitely what I need although my climbing is a bit better than a granny. My shimano acera is messed up so I cant shift to the largest cog on an 11-32 cassette LOL
