microSHIFT ADVENT X Install on my Ritchey Ascent - 10-Speed Upgrade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- On the last few rides with my Ritchey Ascent I found myself wanting to upgrade it from my initial 1x8 drivetrain to a 1x10 with a few more gear options, a wider upper rear cassette range and a bigger and oval front chainring. With the new release of the microShift Advent X drivetrain I thought now was the perfect time.

It's like a T-ford with a Hemi under the hood. Brilliant.
As a old pro mechanic from the late 80s to the early 2000s this really tugs at the heart.
I love when old bikes go 1x, it makes such a dramatic improvement in real world functionality and brings new life to the bike while maintaining an old school vibe.
Agreed
I wish my old bike was 1x
The good old days are back. Ride, just ride, enjoying the moment!
Amen
You entire video is so pleasant, from the low music to the way you explain things. Not to mention, you taking us on a ride. Instantly subscribed.
Awesome thanks 🙏
Micro shift getting a lot of good reviews.
See a need, fill a need.
I have the 9 spd version and it is well made. Shifts great, feels good. Only complaint I have is an ergonomic one with the shifter. The trigger shifter lever is too short so I have to adjust my grip to reach it. Thumb lever is right where it needs to be. It looks like the Advent X solves that issue. I hope they will rework the 9 spd shifter. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I just got the group set for My Gt Aggressor I love it
So calming, almost Hypnotic. Thank you for sharing.
i dont know why but this video is like poem. sad and hopeful. 👏👏
I’m really liking this set up. I have an old 93 stump jumper and this looks like the way to go.
I really loved your editing and video style. Keep up the good work!
Modern gearing and Retro looks, best of both worlds. Keep up the great work, inspiring stuff.
Having fun with it that’s for sure. Good to hear from you.
Love my $10 micro shifter. Simple and it works
Beautiful bike and beautiful video, great vibe and energy, I really drift off in my mind to someplace with flowing singletrack and soulful bikes. Sending love from wintery uk
Totally doing this to my 03 Giant Ranier and my '97 Cannondale Los Dos Tandem.
Oval chainring, Microsoft clutch rear, Microshift friction, Ritchey steel, 26" ... stop copying me! But seriously, it's like we're long lost riding buds. Thank you internet for the e-connection to a kindred spirit.
Awesome my friend, awesome.
This was a really great watch. I loved the narration and the music edits as well as the Advent X tutorial. Thanks you.
Love how you say "Ciao". Hello from Italy!
Stoked on this. Converting my Salsa this week from a 2x8 to a 1x10 with the Advent X groupset and the N/W Wolftooth Oval but going with 38t.
I love your videos. They have pushed me to giving new life to my in-laws 90s frames. Thank you!
Lol awesome
With this covid lockdown,all my earnings and savings gone to zero,now all i can afford is this video.
I love the vintage steel mountain bikes and recently purchased a Dirt Research Kenai with Columbus EL-OS tubing. Tom Teesdale designed it and he has great history in the development of mountain bikes. Looking forward to doing a 1xsetup with it.
There's those beautiful Paul brake levers. I should get rid of my 44 t ring off the front ,I am getting too old and out of shape lol . The anodized cassette looks cool ,man that ritchey is all ready for me now . Haha lol thanks old shovel
In May I will inherit my daughters bike she has had mostly outside at college for 4 years. Looks like an old Shovel rebuild coming. Keep up with the Good Work!
Another great video. Love watching these builds and mods while sipping my morning coffee. Calm and relaxing vibes, which sometimes get lost in the sport of mountain biking. Cheers!
Warms my heart. Thanks
I can't get over how good that Paul's stuff looks. Great video!
I know right. So awesome. Thanks
I'm loving the thumb shifter, I've always wanted one, it looks so cool
Thank you for posting. Uber pleasant.
I've been waiting weeks hoping someone would review this. Thank you.
I’m looking forward to giving them some good riding.
@@oldshovel Looking forward to hearing about it.
Russ at Path Less Pedaled also has a review...
The perfect video to watch before I put back together my trek 950 singletrack
Your film making is superb
Nic job. I did not know that Microshift came out with the X. I went with a Microshift 1x9 on Bridgestone MB4. I really enjoyed it. Great music on this one.
What a nice work to transform an old MTB with a new gear system. A custom scene is born.
Really great. 😃👍
Best Wishes from germany and stay well
Those trail shots really make me miss Utah.
It's cool that the cassette comes with the link for the derailleur, even if you don't need it with the Advent X. I just ordered a Wolftooth one for 11-36 on an Tiagra rear der. rated for like 30T or something. It 'worked' without it but not smoothly. For my MTB though, I just got the Advent X der. and shifter and 11-48T cassette/32T NW ring, going from 24-32-42 and 11-36 I only lost the 2 highest gears in the big ring (in terms of range).
I just got a sweet deal on a brand new Ritchey Ascent frameset. I can't wait to start building it up.
Awesome
Another fine piece of work and you have a great place to ride. Great edit work!
Ok ok, you convinced me. I will upgrade my old mountain bike 😀
I've got the Advent x group on my XC and Enduro bikes. Just got one on my ebike but got the steel cassette for that one. It's that good.
love microshift, just installed their 1x7 drop bars levers on my old bridgestone frame. Great video as usual!
Awesome thanks
Nice! Do you need a road derailleur for that or is it working with mtb as well?
@@schninzent8914Thanks! Threw on a shimano acera mtn bike rear der. The pull ratio for shifting is what worried me with drop bars, but it works awesome
@@jorgscz9175 Great! I have an old 1x7 mtb with slicks on it just for city riding. I might convert to drop bars now. Thank you very much!
@@schninzent8914 dude so awesome, slicks are great
I have the Advent 9 speed groupset up on my 95 GT. I find it’s got the perfect amount of gear for me. It’s a quality set for a good price.
I look forward to more riding on it. It’s a fun setup.
+1 for 9 speed I'm on 7 at the moment but will upgrade to 9 when I can😊✌
Nice to see that rigid off road bikes are still appreciated. I'm mostly riding on path and pavement places and I see road bikes, bitchin beach cruisers, and mountain bikes that sometimes have dual shocks. Those rigid mountain bikes could do it all better with just a change in tires.
Nice build, is jealous of your trails
Thanks
Can see you getting a lot of views for this one, there's a lot of interest in the Advent X drivetrain of late... initially seems ideal for people who want a modern wide range one-by drivetrain without the Shimano/SRAM price tag. Might be good to do a follow up video in a month or so to give us your views on how well it's performed compared to the usual suspects :)
Damnit. Now I wanna convert my single speed back to geared....
Lol 😂
new, or, different watch....nice
So satisfying
Nicely done
Thanks
Things can only get better!
Oval are great for old knees ;)
Such a relaxing video. I always save your videos in Watch later list for a time I have a good dinner to eat :)
Awesome
A mix of retro-ish MTB shifting technology with some great up-to-date components at it's best.
After all,what's better than having a 1x10 groupset on a timeless frame with a thumbie for the shifter.
I love Microshift. I just wish it came in silver!
Just remove all the colour and leave it
such a beautiful way to keep the Old good in their Glorious time.
I just build up a Peugeot Versaille, and set it up as a MTB Travel bike with a front rack.
Its such a Beautiful ride I love it! I wish I could get my fingers on one of your bikes would be rad!
hier trifft man nur die korrektesten. gruß aus hh
Love Sunrace! I found a Sunrace add in an old MTB mag from 1994...
Thanks for the video. I just purchased that derailleur, and was trying to figure out a cassette. I'm going to try it out.
Cool. Awesome want to also try out their 11-48. Perhaps on another build. 😁
I'm shopping for a new drivetrain for my old Specialized P2. I just learned about the Microshift and it seems really decent. I think I'll go with the 9 speed and bring a bit of new life to my ride.
That was great upgread !
Am happy to see u more take care !
Very nice upgrade :-)
sweet build!
..good one, hot rodders are the same on 2 wheels or 4..lol..great vid..enjoy and keep safe..
How about an update on the kona and the Hudson bay bike.. those 2 are my favorite of your builds..
Great job,I love Microshift thumbies but couldnt fit them to one of my modern bikes as I use new Shimano brake levers and their reservoirs foul the thumbie.Pity.
Thanks for the riding footage
How do you fit freehub rear wheels on older steel frames? The sizing of new 26 inch wheels are like 135 mm hubs but my 1983 mountain bike has 120 mm spacing for a 5-speed freewheel.
Nice Restomod
Have Micro Shift shifters on my vintage klein and love them because i can run my vintage cranks with a 10 speed in the back
Thanks for doing this. I just pulled the trigger on the micro shift 9-speed group set. There's not a whole lot of reviews out there but I enjoy seeing more people especially yourself say good things about them as a company.
I loved that 8 speed thumbie and look forward to exercising the 10 speed with the advent x
мне никогда не нравилась манетка микрошифт .но вот этот задний переключатель выглядит просто офигенно
From Spain...we are in quarentine and your video make me to miss more go out with my bike....Nice video, thanks a lot
Thanks and stay safe.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho Man tudo de bom
This microshift group interests me... But for the moment, I've a SLX 1x11 group on my Ritchey P23 😊
Ooooo the P23 is so awesome... with a 1x11 sounds sweet!
come sempre... ottimo video! Ciao!
Another great video 👍🇬🇧
Thanks
Hi Old Shovel. Can I know the model number for the thumbshifter? Because there are several models of it. Much appreciated. Thanks.
Advent has a new 11/46 10 speed cassette too at a ridiculous low weight
love the review. Great music too
Well, that's great upgrade! :)
v cool. thanks.
Cool 😱😱😱
The chainring from Wolftooth is one of the few narrow wide available in 5 bolts, but it is super expensive (79EUR). In 4 bolts, you can get one for 7EUR on Aliexpress (search for Motsuv), I use BDSnail one in anodised purple in 4 bolts (around 15EUR). If people are interested, I also found a NOS stock of 5 bolts 94BCD chainrings in different colors left at KitCross.com, a belgian manufacturer of motocross accessories, I used their chainrings on my 1995 bike and needed to replace one that was bent.
I know. It’s hard to find an affordable 110 bcd x 5 oval. Awesome love how this bike rode, and I always want to ride it so I felt it was worth the cost.
Hoping you can help me out. I have 2x10 xt. It's a 36x24. I want to go to a 1x10 on my full suspension. was going to just take the lower chainring off. Is the 36 tooth chainring ok to run? And what cassette would be good? so I can make it a better climbing full suspension bike.
Looks like Microshift has managed to release a nice product!
Microshift already has good products tbh. But IMO only.
@@carlodominiclu2609 , it's not only your opinion, it's also a fact! Microshift has been around for awhile now, and have always produced durable, solid products.
How do you decide which gearing you need? The old 7/8s freehubs can take 9/10/11/12 speed cassettes if we go Sunrace or SRAM SX. But how do you choose what you buy? Or is it simply a donation by the sponsor or sale% of a bike store?
I have a Specialized Crux, originally came with a 11X30T cassette and a 2X 46T-36T 110mm crankset. I bought the microShift Advent for a 42T cassette along with the microshift 11X42T cassette. I bought the Raceface 30T 1X but it is a 104mm. My current crankset is a 4X110mm FSA 326 Gossamer- BB386EVO (BB86/30 compatible). I need a complete crankset that will fit the 104mm Raceface. Any suggestions.
Note that Microshift says their derailleur is direct mount only so sccording to spec you should install that sunrace adaptor that came with cassette. How does it shift outside the stand?
I dont know about the Microshift. Here in EU you can buy the 11spd slx/nx for around 140-150€. That is the chain, cassette, shifter and rear mech combo. Is the new Microshift better then the older groupset from Shimano and Sram? While the 11spd Microshift is 15€ cheaper but without a chain... better?
Wow a 10 speed, looks great, Esspecially the red on the gears! 1-10 what would you rate it? 😁🚲
10 speed on 8 cassette or changed to 10 cassette ?
you insprire me to go and buy a ridgid fix it up and ride it!
Have you ever seen a SRAM DualDive hub on an old bike? I wonder if one could keep the 3 speed geared hub and replace the SRAM 8/9 speed system with microshift Advent X to get 30 speeds?
I know it's an older vid. Are you using the older 8spd hub? Or do you need a 10 ?
8 speed hubs work with 10 speeds. its 8-9-10-11-12 speeds for the hubs.
@@bananasstuff3344 Thank you very much. Have a few wheel sets from back in the day.
No issues with the microshift and the sunrance cassette pairing together? I was hesitant to use anything but the microshift 11-48 but it was hard to find right now. Good to know for the future.
Awesome build! What thumb shifter did you use? I’ve heard advent x derailleur has really specific cable pull.
Cool!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How is the cassette in terms of wear and tear? Thanks
the microshift thumbie is their regular 10 spd thumbie right?
Relação 2x10 com pedivela 22 36 e k7 11 42 dá certo?
Top de mais parabéns...
What were your thoughts about prefering the Sunrace 11-46 cassette over the Adventx 11-46 cassette? Is it better, nicer or more long lasting than the Microshift cassette?
Fantástico!
