Sram MTB Chain PC GX Eagle 12-Speed 126 Links

Product Information

How often should I clean my bike? Regular cleaning ensures that your material lasts longer and that you can enjoy your cycling for longer. How often you need to clean depends on the weather conditions in which you ride. Do you cycle through all kinds of weather, or do you only go out when the sun is shining? It all affects the degree of wear and tear and some people will have to clean their bikes more often than others. Use the schedule below as a guide: The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology. a) If we have sent you the incorrect bicycle, we will cover the cost of collection and delivery of the correct model. Just like with NX, you've got options besides the mechanical GX Eagle at the same level of componentry. What's different is that now there are quite a few more options. Instead of either Eagle or not, meaning 1x11 or 1x12, you get options for GX Eagle, GX, GX DH and GX AXS. The latest GX incarnation, Eagle Transmission, is not compatible with the older GX systems though. Ultra-smooth chain inner-plates are completely devoid of square edges, resulting in a chain that engages the cassette and chainring with far less friction, for quieter performance and better wear life. The design allows a narrower overall profile that can withstand greater angles, and also allows for a flatter outer-plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and enhanced overall strength.

KMC DLC > SRAM Hard Chromized > Shimano SILTEC > everything else, including Ti-Nitride coatings and whatever other marketing jargon is out there. Shimano's M9100 chain will be chromized, so they will be on par with SRAM. SRAM's non-chromized chains are just disposable... You should always keep proof of postage and we advise you to use a ‘signed for service’ when returning goods.

ALL DAY

As laid out above, the most obvious difference is the cassette and by extension the derailleur that goes with it. Even that isn't as straightforward as it would seem though. All the Eagle drivetrains are cross-compatible. That means if you wanted to spec the GX Eagle but had wheels that couldn't upgrade to the XD freehub you could do it by just using the NX cassette. Alternatively, if you wanted more range all you need to grab is the GX cassette and derailleur.

Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, That still leaves the question... what's the real difference? Realistically, it's pretty subtle and it comes down to weight, precision, and price. The weight of GX Eagle groupset is 1,130g total, while the NX Eagle is 1,337g. Along with that weight drop, there are tighter tolerances as you move up the groupset line-up. The difference as you move up more becomes more pronounced, but at this level, it's hard to actually tell the difference. There are other reasons you might mix and match, too. If you were only able to get parts from one drivetrain because of shortages or location. Grab whatever you can and it will work. If you already have an Eagle drivetrain you could upgrade to electronic with the GX Eagle AXS upgrade kit to keep things as low cost as possible. At the NX level that cassette uses a HG-type freehub. That's a Shimano standard brought over from older drivetrains. If you are upgrading from 11-speed, you don't need new wheels – everything will fit and you can move from 11- to 12-speed. Eagle technology provides an expanded, optimum, gear range making you fast on the flats, giving you control on the climbs and unleashing your speed on the descents.Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle™ cassettes and rings If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection.

And now a new carbon-fibre GX crankset is also available with both the carbon and unchanged alloy versions getting new anodised chainrings. 2021 SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed groupset details Thanks to the addition of that big 52t cog, the GX Eagle gear range now on offer is a whopping 520 per cent (Shimano’s is 510 per cent for reference). Eagle™ technology provides an expanded, optimum, gear range making you fast on the flats, giving you control on the climbs and unleashing your speed on the descents. But it’s not all about the cassette because SRAM has revamped the rear mech too. The new GX mech gets a revised pulley wheel offset, a shorter cage and lengthened parallelogram along with new spring and pivot hardware, all of which help increase chain wrap which should help boost cassette and chain life as well as improve shift feel.This chain comes with a missing link as standard. The use of this missing link makes it very easy to assemble the chain, but is also ideal if you want to thoroughly clean your bike. To open and close this missing link you need Missing Link pliers, you can find them here.
