The last straw was Eagle, got it on a new bike thinking it was gonna be the best of the best, instead it was the worst of the worst! I rode SRAM for years, mostly because it worked and because it was the most common groupo included with complete bikes. I'd try an aftermarket billet hanger, but they are tough to find for my model and year. My prior understanding was if a hanger isn't broken or doesn't break while aligning, it's fine to reuse. My experience is once it's been bent a bit too much it's too weak to hold good enough alignment. anything that requires more than a slight alignment). I'm not sure it's even worth reusing a bent hanger (i.e. That bike had a steel deraileur hanger (pretty sure current is either butter or chinesium) and the long-ass 12-speed derailleurs put a lot strain on the hanger. My previous deore 9-speed never needed adjustment. I was about ready to throw out my gx drivetrain as I previous had ghost shift issues. Brand new derailleur hanger (properly aligned with a DAG 2.2), made sure mech cage was straight, rear wheel trued, set b-gap sagged (and normal proper limit and index setup) and no more backpedal issue. had the back pedal issue, did some research. So, yeah, I don't think you can call a drivetrain an analogue system untill you get rid of the cassette. transisters give you a discrete-looking threshold, which is useful for binary switching, but above that threshold their behaviour is essentially analogue). This is convenient since things like electrical components tend to be quasi-discrete at best (e.g. That means you can get away with transmitting a surprisingly continuous looking signal. The fact that the receiver can only interpet discrete values means that the system as a whole can only express digital codes.Ĭoincidently, this is pretty similar to the way a lot of real-world digital codes are transmitted: the quantization is mostly in the receiver - since the receiver needs to deal with noise introduced by the channel anyway. If we view the system as a whole, we can call the shifter a transmitter, the cable/derailleur a channel, and the cassette a receiver. Yes, a friction shifter can represent a continuous value, but it doesn't mean anything to the rest of the system, it only means something to you, an external observer of the system.

So, I'd argue that your definition depends on giving the shifter a semantic interpretation independent from the rest of the system, which is a weird thing to do. A continuously varying voltage can still be quantized and interpreted as a digital code. If we're talking about digital vs analogue CODES then the distinction lies in the interpretation of the signal, not in the properties of the signal itself. XTR introduced Hyperglide + shifting, but XT seems to run even more quietly, and that improved as the cogs wore Since we're going there. Pop off a couple of up-shifts while powering over the top of a rolling climb and you'll feel nothing but a smooth transition to a faster gear.

Full power climbing shifts occasionally will emit a grunt from the cassette, but for the most part, the cassette runs quietly. SRAM has also included ramps to ease the chain down to the smaller cogs, but XT is next level. Shimano rises to the top on shifting performance. Counterintuitive, perhaps, but that's why wide-range cassettes have parabolic curves. Increasing the number of teeth between shifts to larger cogs helps to keep the delta between gears at the same percentage. The six-tooth step between Shimano's 45 and 51 cogs is actually a smaller percentage than the six-tooth step from the 33 to the 39 cog. The numbers game: Even number jumps do not calculate to even steps. Almost every tooth is modified for smooth shifts.
