from Houston, TX Date Reviewed: August 11, 2006 Strengths: 1:1 ratio gives Strong, solid, secure shifts. Light. Swanky looking. Never needed adjusting. Ability to change to any gear in nearly no time at all. Weaknesses: You need gloves as the fairly stiff (but solid) action requires some gripping of the gripshift. Was not the cheapest, but happy to pay for performance and realiability, low weight, design, etc. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Poison Spider, Moab UT Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: on-line Similar Products Used: Sh*tmano LX, XT Bike Setup: '93 Cannondale Super V w/headshock, SRAM ESP 9.0s and grip shifters, Avid SD brakes & ultimate levers, varioius other parts as stuff wore out or broke.

from Santa Barbara, CA, USA Date Reviewed: August 27, 2003 Strengths: Well, after my last review (David from Carpinteria, CA, yeah, I know I am only supposed to review once, but they replaced it with a new one and I think that is really worth mentioning) I contacted SRAM and took it to a dealer for repair, and somehow ended up with a new X.9!!! Metal knuckle. Shouldn't break. What service!!! Once again, I can say, I love EVERYTHING about SRAM shift systems. Fast, accurate shifts from high to low and back as fast as you can twist the shifter. Weaknesses: Not the best fit on 7 speed casettes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hot Springs Trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Replaced by SRAM!!! Similar Products Used: A SRAM fan all of my days! Bike Setup: Rockhopper, SRAM shift systems

from Mill Valley, CA, USA Date Reviewed: August 14, 2003 Strengths: Light. Looks alright, I guess. Weaknesses: Jeez ! I thought I was the only one ! Mine broke too. I was peddling up hill. The thing just snapped. And I'm stuck with the shifters too. I'll probably just break the next one, then refer the manufacturer to this site for a full refund. What a piece of crap ! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: Airbomb Bike Setup: Azonic Frame, massive rims and tires, Tioga seat, all chrome baby ! Just like the new $4,000 jobs, they all wanna be like me !

from Carpinteria, CA USA Date Reviewed: August 3, 2003 Strengths: Works great Weaknesses: It broke. It just broke. A clean break, all at once, while going uphill. I had been having problems since I put on a new SRAM chain with the chain skipping teeth. This day, it was skipping a lot in all gears but low. I finally got it adjusted to work pretty well. First, the chain came off of the front low gear sprocket. I put it back on, and then the chain broke. While I was lamenting that I hadn't brought my spare PowerLink, I noticed the derailleur wrapped up in the rear spokes! The plastic body broke with a clean fracture, probably due to or the cause of the chain breaking. The break showed no signs of dirt or coloration that would indicate that the crack had been forming for a while. When I got it, I remember thinking, "Wow, that's only plastic! Well, Sram is supposed to be the best, so surely, they know it will hold up!" NOT!
