Strengths:    so simple and intuitive to use. works brilliantly when new and correctly set up. chain retention excellent when new.

Weaknesses:    chain length is critical - only cut chain when at maximum sag. performance of chain retention declines rapidly with wear

Bottom Line:   
A truly brilliant addition to mountain biking. The range of gearing, whilst seemingly limited, is in reality not limited at all as shifting through the range is so simple, quick and intuitive. works just as well with grip shift as with trigger.

Very strong rear steel cassette. very strong and reliable chain and chain ring. fantastically stiff cranks.

Chain length is CRITICAL. too short and you will break locating screws (like I did). Too long and your chain will fall off. Chain retention is uneccesary except for very bad conditions and for when your front chain ring starts to wear. Mine is now 4 months old and has started to drop the chain in rough conditions without chain retention.

Quality of jockey wheels a bit suspect - I have broken two already and parts are very hard to source.

Excessive use of TORX head screws throughout the groupset is really annoying as the market is moving back to hex head. Stop using TORX screws please !!!

with some more refinement this drivetrain is likely to become the standard for MTB. I cant think of anything more you will need except for say touring where you need big ratios for long downhills on tarmac or tiny gears for massive and long climbs.
