WHICH bike should I install the Microshift AdventX 10 speed MTB drivetrain?

[@330_Crew]

Schwinn Axum. Good demo of what a budget rider could to with small investment.

[@mtbsavant5414]

It's close but I think the Schwinn will eek out the win!

[@MTBFlowRider]

Megatower first just to prove a point, then Schwinn.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Hmmm

[@ianw3811]

I fully support this, please do it on both

[@rascal1234]

Yes please.

[@brennangandy]

Both!!

[@skullsroad3642]

Put it on the SC. No one will "downgrade" their high end build but someone doing a frame up, or can't afford an expensive replacement after a crash, might install the advent. I'm most curious about the clutch. I just put box one on my hardtail and I get lots of chain rattle (not slapping on the chainstay), even on Big Trees.

[@mtbsavant5414]

The Yeti has SRAM XX1 12 speed on it right now lol. The Box 4 that's on the Schwinn has more clutch than Michael Jordan which is probably why you're getting some rattle.

[@skullsroad3642]

@@mtbsavant5414 Sorry, meant the Mega. So you're saying tighter clutches cause more chain rattle?

[@eriksdodges853]

@@skullsroad3642 which kit are you running ? I'm using the box one 11spd setup and have no chain rattle at all. I have the clutch backed off some for a "lighter" shifter feel. It shifts super smooth up and down.

[@hunterwright386]

This is a good point, I really want to see how a budget drivetrain performs on a not so budget bike

[@michaelwahl5247]

So due to some circumstances... car repairs... i had to change my mtb plans. long ago i had a yummy F6 Mango. i spent 2 years saving and researching. 1600 bucks for a new ride... then i needed brakes for my car. i was left with 500 bucks... Your channel and KevCentral as well as a few others convinced me to bet on the Axum. NO REGRETS. it will be a unicorn. so i vote... AXUM

[@mtbsavant5414]

Glad to hear you're back on 2 wheels!

[@michaelwahl5247]

went with Sram GX 10 speed drive train and shimano xt crankset also upgraded to Shimano hydraulic brakes.... best starting point for me, i am not little man.

[@lamirande3]

I’m subscribing to see it put on the Axum I also have the Axum and am curious to see how it installs. I want upgrade the drive train myself

[@mtbsavant5414]

It's still close with the Axum in the slight lead!

[@lamirande3]

Also if you could do a install video and show what the install takes

[@jakebmw]

@@lamirande3 if youre looking to upgrade theres the shimano deore 1x10 groupset, i got mine for $85 off of ebay and it comes with an 11-42 cassette, chain and cable included

[@toddtucker4602]

I'm interested either way you go. I would prefer schwinn. But then would like to see Santa cruz. 👍

[@ElGranCarajo]

Those will be very nice upgrade for the AXUM!!

[@mtbsavant5414]

I think so too!

[@michaelutley7661]

100%, Hands Down, No brainer - Schwinn!!

Closer than I thought!

[@BlvckIce93]

Put it on the schwinn

[@roscoeward1476]

I'd say put it on the Schwinn. I just bought this drivetrain for my Aluminum Comp. Just waiting for it to be delivered.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Right on!

[@ananthkutuva3748]

I'm definitely buying this once my 11 speed slx wears out, I vote for putting it on the Schwinn

[@mtbsavant5414]

Appears to be a killer option with little sacrifice

[@dylanchurch8975]

Schwinn axum I have the axum dp and am considering this drivetrain

[@PappaLarro]

I have the 9 speed version of microshift on my b'twin rockrider st530 (€380,- euro) its a good shifter and the clutch doesnt have any problems only thing is in the highest gear so like the 11teeth has the most chain slap. So my answer to your quistion will be put it on the schwinn as this derailler rocks on hardtails.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Done!

[@JohnDoe-zl6ph]

One more vote for the Axum please!

[@bscu0493]

Schwinn... who would ever put this on some high end Santa Cruz?

[@mtbsavant5414]

Same guy who put a fox 34 on his Schwinn lol

[@ShahnewazYT]

@@mtbsavant5414 Most people wouldn't put a budget drive-train on their Megatower. Are you looking to review it or just swap components for fun?

[@dylan-5287]

I would easily put advent x on any bike. Works just as well as high priced drive trains for a tenth the cost. If anything spend the premium money on suspension, brakes, or wheels. This must be a xc rider thing where people obsess over drive trains lol. The weight is already competitive, you should be happy lmao.

[@theshonen8899]

Put it on the Yeti and do a direct budget comparison with the Box.

[@mtbsavant5414]

I can do that either way

[@bill4013]

My vote is for the Axum. I’m in the process of building up my Axum.

[@mtbsavant5414]

It just won :)

[@danhart2411]

I was actually going to buy the advent set up but Leary on buying it. So on the fence now until you update your video lol

[@jctrails]

Stick it on the Schwinn and send it to me. 😎

[@mtbsavant5414]

hmmm

[@jonlavigne3270]

I say put it on the Schwinn but either way I’m anxious to get your thoughts. I have a SS bike build that I’m almost done with but i have this on my shirt list of drive trains if I decide I don’t like the SS set up long term

[@oklahotb3217]

I voted the Megatower but I would have voted to do both if it was an option. Having just gotten the 9 spd version a few months ago, I'm not sure if I'm going to get this one but I want to.
