    A derailleur is just a swinging parallellogram. It does not have indexing built into it for predetermined shifting or spacing. The compatitbility lies with the shifters which do and the cassettes which do as well. If you have the same shifter/casette combo, the derailleur doesn't matter. This is why you can buy the few other derailleurs which are offerd as aftermarket. Note: some more recent derailleurs (higher end) will have a different path of motion and might cause a noticeable alignment problem with the indexing, but most it will noy matter.

    • @AdrenalineIsLife

      It depends on the model. There are lots of DT Swiss models out there. DT 370 hubs and M1900 rims are most common in my experience, and I would say that the Hunts are better. DT 350 hubs with star ratchet are good. 240 hubs are good as well. The best thing about DT is availability of spare parts and freehub bodies. That is something Hunt lacks.

    I have Atlas cranks and I ditched that crappy plastic preload collar that comes with them for a nice, aluminum one made my Cane Creek. They come in many different colors so not only does it perform better than the stock Race Face one (it’s much harder to strip than the RF) it looks much better too. They’re not cheap- I believe around $25/$35 but well worth it

      @stevebennett35 87 IDK the exact torque spec for those bolts, but you don't need much. Use blue loctite and a good quality allen key. Avoid using allen keys with rounded edges. Tighten to snug then a quarter turn. Typically, small screws require minimal torque. 2 to 4nm is usually enough.

    Sorry I missed the point, why are you going from thru axles to quick release? I thought thru axles were superior and more future proof? Secondly, I thought the xtrada 6 was quick release, and only the Xtrada 7 was thru axles? Apologies if I've got this wrong as I haven't checked the website for the specifications. Another side note, just this week I took delivery of the C5 Syncline on special this month, I really wanted the xtrada 7 in the grey/black colours, but they were out of stock, so got the C5 as I enjoyed watching your videos on the C5 so much, that I made the commitment 👌🙂

    • @AdrenalineIsLife

      Yes, the 6 has boost 141 quick release. So you can convert some boost thru axle wheels to fit the QR frame. Wheels are a great upgrade for a bike. Thru axles are always preferred. So glad you're enjoying the C5. I love mine!
