Which Groupset?

I'm not sure what this has to do with mud ingress?

Here is the jockey wheel with the bearing shield removed, the BB looked the same.

A clean and re-grease got them going again but they're a bit rough now. Maybe it's unavoidable.

I'm having flashbacks of having to regrease the jocket wheel bearings on my cross bike after like every ride in winter this year. Snow & ice freezing gear cables, cassette, rotors, chain, urgh.

Also, I'm not a fan of these SRAM jockey wheels with spokes rather than a disk like the Shimano ones. Just attracts muck.

I fixed this problem, by never racing CX.

You were asking about bbs

GXP BB's are something I have failed to break

Shameless plug, but I'm selling a brand new set of shimano hydraulic shifters and brakes if anyone wants to make the upgrade.

@Alb do you have any insider info if shimano is considering sub-compact?

Alternatively can the R8000 CX chainset take a 34t inner?

Shimano doesen't like it

110bcd, why wouldn't it?

Just buy a compact and a 46t BBB ring.

Is there any demand for Eagle GX groups, low miles, one careful owner, or are they so cheap new that it's a give-away only type deal?

Also, has anyone used the Eagle XX1 Grip-shift, and if so was it shit?

Why BBB? Shimano makes a 46t ..

How much is it though?

@PhilDAS

no idea .. €90 or something

There's nothing wrong with GX Eagle. Just get fancier cranks and brakes if you want to be tarty

There's nothing wrong with GX Eagle

It's not even electronic tho

But there is a more expensive option which will be even less wrong.

Yes how much please :)

Cranks? bb30 tho?
Brakes?
Or just shift set?

Yep, stuff coming down the pipe but 12+months away.

Don’t see why the R8000 can’t take a 34t inner - it’ll be the same offset 110bcd as the std 50/34t double, no? I think the table above is more about optimal chainring combos for shifting performance (matched ramps & pins)

@Alb any sniffs yet on 10-34 11 speed cassettes?

Will try and get some specifics

Definitely this.

What are the 8020 hydraulic levers like? They look very bulbous compared to the Di2 version. Distinctly butt plug-shaped in this pic but wonder if they mocked a build up with non-series levers.

no they are 8020 and yes they are big, Di2 however are smaller than their rim brake counterpart.

So 8070 are smaller than 8020?
