Date Reviewed: August 23, 2008
Favorite Trail:City Park
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $59.00
Purchased At:Austin Bicycle Sport
Strengths:MTB specific Shimano SLX FD DP/TS M665 greatly improved shifting for 2 ring set up(SLX Crank set). SLX FD paired with SRAM X.0 trigger shifters. Smooth and consistent FD shifting even when climbing.
Weaknesses:SLX FD shifts between 2 chain ring SLX Crank set perfectly when I feel the X.O Trigger shifter click. SLX FD occasionally misses when climbing going from small chain ring to upper chain ring if I don't feel the X.0 Trigger shifter click
Similar Products Used:Shimano M581 LX, DMD, top swing, dual pull
Bike Setup:2008 Enduro SL Comp - E150 Fork & AFR Shock, X.0 Trigger Shifters, Avid Juicy 7 Brakes, Shimano SLX Crank set, Shimano SLX Front Derailleur, SRAM X9 Rear Derailleur, Joplin Seat Post, Time Pedals, Industry 9 Enduro Wheels (on order).
Bottom Line:Bottom line - Outstanding FD from Shimano. Curious if the SLX FD would accentuate better if paired with a Shimano Trigger shifter as opposed to the SRAM X.0. I have been extremely pleased with the SLX FD for performance and performance per price point. Highly recommended...
