Sram vs. Shimano

[brandeezy108]

what's the difference?

[junkitrubbish]

Sram I9 Shimano Alfine or Rohloff  forget Derailleur Crap

[HariVIyer]

recorded with what? A calculator?!?!

[dmak2]

A bit of flex/shock absorption is a good thing. Too rigid and a big enough hit will mean the nice Sram mech will snap off. Don't believe me, check the vid "DONT buy a CANNONDALE!!!!"

[derekhugh]

@dmak2

LOL!

That guy landed sideways, crosschained on a x country bike on flat concrete, broke off his derailleur & then try's to blame the frame maker for his ignorant supidity .

[Brotherman7]

It proved to me that I should strip out that high price XTR 2006 group, sell the parts on Ebay, and purchase the entry level SRAM X7 for way under the price I paid for the XTR crank. It's a done deal.

[Sammyfest]

This video taker is from Sram? What an idiot comparison just by looking at the rear drailiuers.

[Glide365]

Ya Guys your right, why dont you two stick with Shimano, that way i can whoop you Ass out on the Trail, keep it up Seriously.... X7 isnt 3rd from the top by the way, closer to extry level

[nshandy]

@Glide365 Actually its right in the middle of sram's mtb components, X3, X4, X5... X7... X9, X0, XX. Its about an entry level in the performance class so its still a higher end part. Compares better to Shimano Deore. Thats what the video should have had, Deore vs X7

[theyvegonetoplaid]

get a chainstay guard

[CroatianSensation007]

more like shitmano

[jhoags92]

You're comparing Shimano Altus (lowest end shimano) to Sram X7 (3rd to top)

Of course Atlus is going to bounce around, its for low end bikes.

If your going to compare, at least compare with the other brands comparable derailleur...

[jaywam911]

i have a question? is a lot of give in the derailler bad? or is it a good thing?

[Artemis458]

nice job on the vid! Although I dont know enough about this stuff to really draw any solid conclusions, the stability of the sram one does look re-assuring.

[akenatum]

não vejo diferença na corrente

[DOL1235]

both are the same...as long as it is comfortable for us

[TimeBandit415]

this video is very decieving! the title and all.

[glags]

This is a prime example of why internally geared hubs such as Alfine, Nexus, SRAM, Rohloff, etc. are superior.

[Yankee9francisco]

que bien¡¡¡ el sram parece ke se mueve menos, si bastante, y? habeis mirado la cadena de ambos? el movimiento es el mismo, de ke me sirve un cambio ke se mueva menos si la tension de la cadena es la misma tanto en uno como en otro jaja ke fuerte

[ave2timeslip]

Why would I care what and where does it move, if the chainline stays dead on?

[bluewker]

@ave2timeslip The probability of it moving out of line is probably greater when theres more kinetic energy affecting the derailleur there since realistically there's going to be some association between the x and y axis springs.... I ride shimano but SRAM always seems pretty appealing to me.

sram does not take any hits like shimano

shimano have a spring in it to take pressure

during downhill , freeride or off-road

sram though design is nice but many have

broke thiers during downhill as it stay in it's position and dosent take much hit

[gja1000]

which shimano is it? and which sram is it?

[PulletSurprise]

XTR M960. First generation X.0.

[K1Dizzle]

Wow thats awesome!  Now I know for good to stay away from Shimano

[DARKSCOPE001]

not so fast guy! im a sram guy to and im very very happy with them but that does not mean im going to trashbash them. sram is nice because they are cheap but i have heard so many times that when a sram derailure take a hit its toast! while the shimano just bounces back for more. so its really just what your lbs carries and stocks not whats better than what.

[micweiss69]

nice, something you don't see very often
