Microshift Advent X

[mattybfat]

I took a shot because I got tired of the constant fiddling of the eagle. This is on Pattys bike so she will be my Guinea pig. With a wide range 10 just seems right in my thinking. Honestly I would even have gone with their 9spd wide range if it was on my bike. Eagle just seemed like too much. I personally was dropping 2-3 shifts at a time.
For $189 for shifter derailleur cassette and chain, it seemed like a decent shot to take. Reviews have been good so i will update.
Hopefully I won't have to hear my my chain is skipping in whatever gear anymore.

I read the title and was like "Microsoft built a bike?"
Then my eyes started working.
Carry on.

Would be uninspired, but solid. Would buy 100%.

I have installed several Microshift/Box/whatever-other-name-they-want-to-silk-screen-on-it shifters/derailleurs. My opinion as a mechanic: they match neither big 'S' in terms of lightness/ease of shifting, but otherwise work without complaint. That statement applies to the shifters more-so than the derailleurs, but there it is.

You mean it isn’t normal to not be able to shift correctly in the middle 6 of the cassette, weird.
