I absolutely LOVE my AdventX 10 speed. Thank you for make such a great product and keeping the price where real people can afford it.
Loving the 1x10 setup on my old giant trance, have to say the chain measurement method in this video is so much more clear than the v1 setup vid.
Awesome vid. Got a couple restomods getting V.2. MicroShift shaking up the market. Also grabbing some of Russ' Uno bar ends.
I just want to say that I love my Advent X
Love this, seems like a solid improvement! Can't wait to get one for my Advent X drivetrain. When will it be available to buy in retailer stores?
Probably not until July or August, unfortunately!
@@microSHIFTTECH This will be perfect time as a upgrade for next season. Because i just buought full Advent X drivertrain for my XC bike.
Maybe a slight tweak for 10 speed casette as well? With closer ratio at smaller cogs:
change:
11-13-15-18-21-24-28-34-40-48
to
11-13-15-17-20-23-27-34-40-48
or
11-12-14-17-20-24-28-34-40-48...
or similar - sometime i miss 17T cog at current setup at my 622 wheels :D
When this version to release in Australia? Id love to try it your 10
Speed.
Thanks.
I am curious if your brand new Sword gravel rear derailleur has these exact same improvements that your Version 2 AdventX derraileur has. I know Sword has some new features AdventX does not have, but which is better for serious off-road use?
I definitely want to switch to your new Sword shift levers for my off-road bikepacking bike, but am not sure if one derailleur is better than the other.
The Sword derailleur has a barrel adjuster and ADVENT X does not. Beyond that, Sword has nicer finish quality (Igus bushings, etc.).
Just purchased and installed advent x (was going to get super short but it wasn't in stock).
Followed this video and everything was easy !! Pretty much everything was ready out of the box (slight limit screw adjustment) and that was it ! didn't even need to adjust cable tension, it just worked !
Loving how the shifter feels, very smooth action. The clutch sound is very unique i quite like it tbh. Bought the steel version cassette and it looks absolute boss ! very nice bit of machining
Being able to pedal uphill's again is a revelation O_O
Keep up the great work guys ! what you're doing is amazing !
Where can i buy the ver 2? Completely absent from shops!
Hi I have a advent x drivetrain, I tightened my clutch pretty tight and it felt awesome until it went very loose after a big hit, now I’m unable to tighten it and makes wierd sounds when moving the derailleur. Please help. Did the teeth were out ?
Sorry for the late reply! If you haven't already, fill out a service ticket on our website. Our tech can take a look and see if it's a warranty issue or something else.
What’s the difference between the version 1 and version 2?
Edit: I mean performance wise sorry
There's a bunch of info on our website, and we'll have a video breaking it down soon. Basically, V2 has better chain wrap, but it's a little more complicated than that.
I have the version 1 and am not a fan of it at all! Is the cassette and shifter the same for the version 2? Has anyone here tried both versions and is there a big difference between them?
Where is this available right now? can't get it from my LBS or find online
It is not yet available, should hit the US in August.
@@microSHIFTTECH It's October now, but I still don't see it for sale anywhere. Do you know when it will be available?
1. How many links did this chain have?
2. Which particular model of KMC was used?
It's a KMC X10 chain and I would guess it started with 116 links.
@@microSHIFTTECH KMC X10e You need 136 links for a 11-48 cassette.
@@stratostear The standard 10 speed chains length's are 114 and 116 link's
I bought a 114 link on a full sus and it doesn't need shortening (DH bike 34T chain ring)
Cutting it shorter will affect suspension because of the tension put between the chain and derailleur.
I have ver 1 so there is some play before the clutch engages which i actually like because it leave's some slack in the chain even in 1st gear (48 tooth) which doesn't hinder movement as much in the linkage.
The only *downside* is the smallest cog doesn't engage the clutch unless using suspenion travel so the chain is a bit baggy (Altho i used the b-screw to have a happy medium between jockey wheel and cassette spacing with chain tension).
Where can I buy this derailleur?
Does v2 have a stronger clutch? Cheers
It has the same clutch, but resists chain movement better because of the repositioned pulleys.
Hi, when will it be available for purchase in Europe? Thx
I would guess sometime around July or August?
Do you know what country the Advent X derailleur is manufactured in? China, Taiwan, other..?
Taiwan
Is the second version better than the first?
Always.
Im gonna get a 10 speed sooner or later from ur guys company >:) Right Now i got an L-Twoo 9 speed
Also Question: have yall ever thought about making hydraulic disc brakes? :o
Sure thing, it's just harder than it seems.
When will we see a Wireless Advent X?
When hell freezes over, next question.
No, I'm sure the bosses want me to leave the door open, so maybe someday? If you believe hard enough?
@@microSHIFTTECH Don't say that. You're breaking my heart.
Haaaaacks and bodges, hacks and bodges!
@@ondrejmanych5688 In my experience life is mainly hacks and bodges.
I watched the entire video after they mentioned "setup is different between version 1 and version 2" to see whats the difference.. No difference, it's exactly the same.
The pulley gap is much smaller when installing Ver.2. (6-7mm vs 15-17mm on original ADVENT X).
