    🤯SRAM GX EAGLE Best Bang for The Buck! | NX Eagle Not Worth IT! SRAM GX Drivetrain MTB Review Instal: Join me and Anthony at Gotta Ride Bikes in my new hometown. If you are interested in my thoughts in regards to the NX Eagle please watch as they are towards the end of the video, as this video is more of an installation/tips video rather then a full NX and GX review. The Sram GX Eagle Drivetrain is the best budget mountain bike drivetrain on the market. Its insanely great value for the price, NX Eagle just loses, i feel too much value just to save a hundred dollars or so.

      ​@@MTBdropIN There are many things to consider what is best bang for buck. If you have the proprietary XD HUB then GX Eagle is way to go. But for others that have a Shimano/Spline Hub then NX Eagle is a better choice and the only difference for both is the weight and materials used but the features is the same for every Eagle groupset. For the cost and easily to upgrade I think NX Eagle is one of the best bang for buck.

    • @MTBdropIN
      @MTBdropIN  5 років тому +3

    As another commenter suggested, I also did not hear you give any reasons to support "NX Eagle Not Worth IT", as part of your title suggests. Towards the end of the vid (17:05) you touch on the NX briefly and say "I'll have to try that". I upgraded to the NX eagle from a 2x10 setup. I love my new drivetrain and believe it definitely helps me with the climbs. Aside from it being inexpensive ($375 MSRP, although you can usually find it for $300) there are other reasons to go this route. Aside from the 50 tooth cog, the NX eagle did not require me to get an XD driver body like GX, XO1, and XX1 require. Out of the box, the NX cassette is compatible with standard 8, 9, and 10 speed splined Shimano (HG) driver bodies.

      IMHO NX is a wise choice for most non competitive bikers or even for the eventual bikers. It's a kind of 'SLX' of SRAM: heavier but all in all more resistant. It requires less maintenance while keeping all the Eagle technologies. The SX is a kind of 'Alivio': it keeps some tech but not all (specially the pulley) so it is predictably more rough. And 'mere 100 bucks' is not so... Last Amazon search gave me $418 for GX and $261 for NX...

    I love my NX Eagle on my Giant Reign. Especially coming from a 2x10 that i changed to a 1x10 on my Intense Spider. The Eagle was a nice change. But just like you said, it will not fix your climbing. Only time on the bike will better your fitness level and your climbing abilities. I recently went for a ride on my Intense and was surprised how well I was able to climb on the 1x10. My strength improved over this past year a lot. So you just need to ride what you have and your climbing abilities will improve no matter what drive train you have. Although, Eagle does make a slight difference, lol.
    I know how you feel when a part is irritating and you just wanna pound on it with a hammer. But then I remember how expensive replacement parts are. So I always take my aggression's out on the trail and save those parts for fellow riders in need. If I can help out someone else, especially Veterans or Veterans with PTSD and they don't have to put out a single dollar to keep their bike up and running. Well then I will ship that part to them if they need it. Just a thought brotha.
    Anyways, keep up the good work and soon we will have to get together and ride.

Wouldn't you want to be on the smallest cog as the guide pulley would be closest at that point? I'm sure I'm missing something.

    I wanted to repair my 2003 Cannondale F800SL. It´s equipped with a Shimano drivetrain (XT and Deore mixed) and Magura Louise disc breaks.
    The hubs are still perfectly fine, but the rest ..... new bottom bracket, new chain rings, new cassette, new rear derailleur rollers. Costs: 180€ and I still would have a 17 year old shifter with two old derailleurs and somewhat soft feeling triggers.
    And then I realized that for around 100€ more I could upgrade it to an NX.
    Yeah, maybe you are correct, that the GX is a bit more bang for the buck, but I had to replace the hubs, too, and while I can install the drivetrain myself, I cannot replace a hub. Or I had to buy new wheels. For 17 year old vintage bike. People think I am crazy for putting the NX money into it instead of buying a new XC bike. But I like the old Cannondale and the NX is what will keep it going for another few years.

      Just watch park tools video on indexing your rear derailleur, if it doesn’t work then watch it agian.. then let the air out of your rear shock and compress it to the 30 percent sag mark so it stays there while you set the b tension screw with that red guide. I don’t even own a bike stand, I just turn the bike over and do it.

    my bud just got a new GX eagle, we think they installed the boost crank arms wrong cause his chain angle is way to much on the taller gears, which of course is messing with his shifting

      yeah I told him to take the bike back and point it out, I think probably a washer on the wrong side or something... they might have rushed the build or something. I have read that the GX eagle has a break in period and will feel better after a 100 miles or so

    • @MTBdropIN
      @MTBdropIN  2 роки тому

      Agreed, for me I just don’t feel it’s worth it, the benefits of the GX over the NX for the little bit of extra money is just too good to pass up. I have been known to rock an na chain from time to time.
