Short results on the SRAM X.Gen after one week. I will have a longer
report at the end of November.
SRAM X.Gen Front Derailleur
MSRP: $35.00
Price at LBS: $29.99
Cable Pull: Dual
Top Gear Capacity: 44T
Total Capacity 22T
Claimed weight 185gr
Delivery Weight: 189gr
Chain Line 47.5 - 51mm
Pros:
Uses nylon seals over upper and lower link bushings. Should prove to a
durable design …
Over built dual sided inner and outer link. Should prove to a durable
design …
Very stiff return spring. Very positive down shifts.
Shifts as well as XTR Bottom Swing.
Slightly lower price point than XT, much lower price than XTR
Cons or just weird:
Pork when compared to an 117gr XTR or 123gr XT
Silly rubber plug over unused cable clamping location.
The band clamp is only directly compatible with 34.9 and 31.8 seat
tubes. The 28.6 adapter is "available" but not shipped with the
derailleur.
