Those chain rings have a alternating wide-narrow tooth pattern, as the SRAM XX1 chain rings, only that they are running on the common bolt patterns, for all of us to mount on our existing cranks with very little effort and low cost. Phase II: Type2 and WOOLFTOOTH „Drop-Stop“ chain rings: Just about that time WOLFTOOTH COMPONENTS came out with their aftermarket Drop-Stop“ chain rings for running a standard drive train in 1-by mode (fort he intro of them – see here). While not on every ride, I did have the occasional reach down and get the chain back into position … nothing annoying, but certainly not perfect. This showed me that I was able to enjoy running a 1×10 in terms of reliability, with very few dropped chains. Phase II: Type2 in 1×10: To give the mech a bit more of a challenge I went from my standard 2×10 (with front derailleur, to a 1×10 – running a single speed chain ring up front and taking the front derailleur off. All in all the derailleur has been super reliable with no peculiarities and did its job just as good as the standard X.O before only with nearly no chain slap. The only slight point of criticism is that sometimes I feel like shifting takes just a tiny bit more finger force, but that difference is so small I wonder if it may not be me.

It is plain great how the clutch mechanism does eliminate almost any chain slap (something you get reminded ever so often running a bike with a „standard“ rear derailleur). Anybody living in central Europe knows we have had a very bad spring and whatever the summer has been so far – it was anything but dry or pleasant, and so the drive train components had been subject to constant spraying by mud and water and despite me doing nearly no maintenance other than cleaning and lubing the chain regularly – the rear derailleur is still running as strong as on the first day. Phase I – Type2 on a 2×10: Besides the numerous bikes we rode with such a rear derailleur on, I have been running a SRAM X.0 rear mech on my permanent test rig since the beginning of the year ( for the intro – see here).

( Also with a Final review on the SRAM Type2 derailleur technology)Įvery once in a while we see innovations that may be relevant to just about any mountain biker out there – click pedals, disc brakes or going for 36 tooth max on the cassettes are such in my eyes – and SRAM’s Type2 rear derailleur technology (along with the similarly working „Shadow Plus by SHIMANO – covered by GT here already) may just be such a thing.
