3 years later, I'd argue this is one of the most Shimano-fanboy reviews of the NX I've ever seen. But then again, it seems like the Shimano stuff is cheaper for you guys, and where I live it's the opposite.

I have NX transmission, no problem with shifting to big star, but considerable issues when shifting in mid-range. On the bike stand it shift good, but fails on a trail. Mechanic said the issue is in the cables, I am not sure.

I’m one person that doesn’t want a 12 speed cassette. I really like the idea of the micro shift advent x and the box prime 9. Big range, fewer gears. I just want a low climbing gear and a high gear for speed. Then a handful in between ought to do. Maybe you could review one of those to help me decide if I want to lose a few gears. Great info in your vid as always

Spot on review! I've been running an NX rear derailer on one mountain bike and Deore XT rear derailleur on another for approx. a year now and have come to find the NX is not as durable/reliable as the Shimano Deore XT. I recently swapped the NX derailleur out for a Deore XT rear derailleur and am very much appreciating the reliability in shifting :) I am interested with your suggestion to upgrade the mounting knuckle to see if that would make a difference.

When my Commencal Meta TR 29 arrived, it was equipped with NX with GX Crank. Upon consulting SRAM, I immediately upgraded to GX Derailleur and Chain. Someday I may go to Eagle Cassette, but this is working great! Also, because of thumb injury, I upgraded to GX Twist Shifter (incredible how accurate it is and how fast you can shift to any range of gears). I love the setup, particularly climbing with the Meta!!! I don't need any more lower gears, and I don't want a bigger jump to a 52t, but I was wondering what you think of the new GX Derailleur as compared to the older one. P.S. Still riding my Trek 3x8 hardtail to work - love it too!

Will upgrade to GX when breaks. Last years base Capra had full NX. But they went cheaper spec to lower price quite a bit. Putting it in my price range. My Marin Trail bike came with NX derailer and shifter and Fsa crankset. It has been really reliable. Have been on Sx since January...Sx hanging in there. Nice video. Very helpful.

So I have a 2021 Norco Revolver FS2 100, its an XC race bike and I intend to race it. It has NX Eagle on it. I am wondering if the issues with NX Eagle are there from new or occur with wear over time? I was considering making some upgrades to Shimano but was wondering if I could maybe get through a season with the NX Eagle first before it started causing problems. Was thinking I would use XT RD and Cassette with SLX chain and shifter and then use One's Switch SRAM DM to put a Shimano compatible chain ring on the NX Eagle crank. I noticed you said you like the GX Eagle over the NX Eagle chain, I had understood the GX chain was the same just with a different coating. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi! I wanted to ask a friendly question if Sram is a bit more durable than Shimano? It's a Haibike with Deore XT (2x10) and I just need a new front chain ring (44T) every 3 weeks. It always looks like I used an angle grinder on it... This is unbearable...

@@LoveMTB Thanks for anwsering! 2-3 weeks after installing a new 44T chainring, the front derailleur starts throwing the chain over the chainring. If I adjust the front derailleur so that the chain cannot throw over the chain ring, then I can no longer shift up. its impossible to adjust, iam only able to stop that again and again with a new chain ring. I decide that it's worn out because every time after 3 weeks it looks as if someone had worked on it with an angle grinder, this time it's even bent. I asked if sram is more stable because then I only have one chain ring at the front and this whole front derailleur horror might end then. But can I still drive my 45 km/h on a straight with sram gears? The gear shifts with only one chainring in front all have so few teeth. And i still need my hill climbing gears. Sorry vor all that spam.

I would love to upgrade from an SX eagle on the bike I might buy, but the SLX seems cheaper and better than GX (forgive me if I'm wrong). I just didn't know if it was possible to mix and match brands. If not, would a GX eagle derailleur be compatible? Apparently the SX/NX parts use a different hub, so it wouldn't be compatible with the wheel? Any help appreciated :)

Never mind...I just watched your video on this subject..awesome! Wish I knew this earlier, I've been through two GX derailleurs here in the last couple of months due to picking up a stick and bending them all up into unusable hunks. I had some degree of success bending them back into shape, but the crisp shifting just goes away once they get bent, you just can't straighten them back to perfect. (BTW, I have a hanger gauge, and the hanger stayed true in both instances) Can't help but think an XT mech will be much tougher and not bend as easily.

Seems like a setup-issue. After i dialed in my nx the shifting has worked flawlessly for a year or so. Never fails to shift, never overshifts.

Any point in going from 11spd GX none eagle to 11spd GX eagle or better to just get shimano xt/xtr rear derailleur ?

@@LoveMTB ok, didn't realize sram gave up on 11spd support. So my question is would the shifting be better if i switched to a shimano xt/xtr rear derailleur ? would that even work with the rest of my gx 11spd components ?

@@LoveMTB THX but i am not looking for more range. i previously had the 2x11 XT group set but traded it for the GX set with grip shift. i kept the xt brake set since i like it more then the sram stuff. Thanks for the help, just hoping i still have "decent" option for 11spd in the future. i like shimano's durability so i might switch to it in the future while using grip shift since i hear there's none of that 1:1 / 2:1 actuation problems like 8,9 speeds had.

@@LoveMTB No i didn't, guess i'am still stuck with the 90's & early 2000's. i Know there's a "mod" from 13 to make a trigger 11 to 12, but grip i have No idea. THX for the info. i just worry i get 12spd & viola 13/14 spd is the next BS.................Sad :( How much more wide can they make the rear triangle & the chain thin before it's just a waste ofr $$$ for the "average" user ? are they gonna do a 180 & do 2x something AGAIN ?

I absolutely agree with you, Shimano is way better thought and designed. My new bike came with X01 AXS, I have given a try and works perfectly tbh (after some tweaking), but if the derailleur breaks is going to be hard to pay 670€ just for it, i might have to buy a Shimano XT 12S one.

Problem is if you have a bike like that you need to have the money to keep backing it. You can't for example go broke on the bike hoping nothing needs to be maintained just like a house or facility. You need to match your resources to what you are doing. If you're worried about an expensive derailleur id stick with a cheaper bike where parts are lower end and cheaper.

You could, but you will lose a hyperglide + of Shimano cassette (up and downshifting under load), also I think a cog spacing is a little bit different on Shimano and Sram cassettes. If you have enough money (you are asking about xtr, so I guess you have) you will be better with full shimano or sram drivetrain

I have this thumbs down because I have GX and Nx groupsets. I do not agree with his recommendation on throwing out a brand new Nx chain. How wasteful and unnecessary. The chain is fine if you look after it. I ride enduro in Ireland and the chain has held up well. He didn't like the shifting, has he checked the indexation and tried adjusting it
