from Shore Date Reviewed: May 4, 2006 Strengths: lots of material, decent adjustments, decent springs Weaknesses: the material is brittle (plastic, why?) and it broke cleanly with little force required...riveted, so not rebuildable...the X-0 I have at least has some parts that are rebuildable (not the cage to the body, although I have removed the 9's cage and am trying to attach it to my X-0, but that is a work in progress and another story). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: All Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: NSSW Similar Products Used: most of shimano's and sram's line...and suntour from yesteryear.

from Jechon, Chungbuk, South Korea Date Reviewed: February 9, 2005 Strengths: Shifted well right after I installed it. I was expecting a major hassle with adjusting it, since I'm not much of a mechanic, but it didn't even need a barrel adjustment for the first 10 rides. Weaknesses: You really have to twist the Gripshift until it clicks, even after it's made the shift, or it'll go back to the gear you were in. It takes some time to make sure you hit the index on each shift. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Ha So Mountain Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $130.00 Purchased At: Pricepoint.com Similar Products Used: Shimano LX, XT, and XTR. Bike Setup: 2002 Giant AC Team, Psylo XC Race, SID Air shock, XT hydaulic disks, Mavic D 321 rims, PC 69 chain, XT 11-34 cassette.
