We Hit ADVENT With A Baseball Bat 

Hey that's not bad

@@microSHIFTTECH I wish I could take full credit on that one. It’s a repurposed old Timex watch slogan from the 1960’s commercials. 😉👍🏻 (It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.)

It's definitely different. IIRC someone tested it and found about a 1:1.1 ratio. SRAM is pretty close but apparently not close enough.

@@here-be-ember got it, thank you! that's why it didn't work with 1:1 or 1:2.

Both!

Be patient, we're working on it!

Yes!

They are not compatible. Shimano doesn't make a 9 speed shifter that pulls enough cable for ADVENT's wide range derailleur.

@@microSHIFTTECH thank you for the reply! Here in argentina is really hard to find the 9s shifter.

i can verify this response from microshift, i have the advent x 9 speed, i would say none of the rapid fire shifters from shimano but i think there are a few shifters that do have the right shift for them, honestly thou go with there own shifter its very good, and jaun, i have tried both shimanos and microshift, if you like quick gear changes go shimano, if you like controlled shifts, microshift.

There are a lot of factors to consider. With a 33" uncorked wooden bat, I would hit it every third ride unless you're using a UDH in which case I would hit it every other ride.

Yeah, it was the same derailleur, just put the switch back on. If you look closely you can still see some of the bat wood embedded in the clutch cover screw.

@@microSHIFTTECH you guys have way too much fun 👍🏻😁

That's fair

I guess I’m crazy in thinking that receiving a hit equal to that from a baseball bat and being bent back into workable condition on the spot was the point 🤷🏻‍♂️
