Actually just watched a GMBN video on YouTube. They make high end rear derailleurs, shifter, cassettes, full drivetrains. Haven’t fully navigated the website, so now I may end up with a full Box kit. I can get killer deals on all of it and it’s suppose to be awsome, and the derailleur body is even carbon for weight and has some really cool features. Apparently make hubs too because Neal said the cassettes are compatible with Shimano or Box free hubs
I’m gonna use the Box Vector M30-P cranks, Absolute Black 32T N/W oval chainring, SRAM GX type 2.1 10spd rd, Sunrace MX3 11-42 cassette, KMC X10 SL black and red chain to keep the black and red going, and I’m gonna use a SRAM GX 10spd shifter until or if I can justify spending $140 on the next step up for ONE shifter. Just thought that was kinda crazy. $40+/- for GX and next step up is $140+

They’re mtb compatible. 104bcd, Just use spacers for mtb.They were used in some world cup racing and recognized for it because of the wins. Dont know if link will work, but check em out. Box Vector M30-p. They make a M35 with 35mm spindle for DH/Freeride with larger bottom brackets.Oh yeah, they’ll mostly be ridden on FATS too cause its right down the road. So if he didn’t kill them there I may be okay. I’ve heard a lot of people having problems with spoke tension on them causing problems depending on who assembled them I guess.
Not as of now. Rear was slightly warped, probably from someone demoing bike. Trued them up and the front was straight as an arrow but spoke tension was very uneven. I have read a couple of other good testimonials. They’re brand new and I picked em up for $50 for the set and you can tell they haven’t been ridden. Been in guys closet. Could have had something sat on it. I’m gonna give them a shot. They’re a huge step over the no names that came on my Haro. Upgraded to Suntour Raidon forks from factory xct, and upgraded rd to Deore shadow to get rid of chainslap and a couple other upgrades. Grabbing some new tires tomorrow. Got my bike at wholesale from a buddy that’s a dealer so I still have less in it than a new one at retail and am doing parts where I can swap frames easily in future. Haro Frame is only 4 lbs so not bad for xl 29er.
