Bottom bracket cable guide whats one of them?

I've been through the website. I've read the installation manual. I've looked on several website shops. Far as I can tell it only comes in one size. That one size will fit various tube sizes and a shim is available for smaller ones. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

It's the plastic thing that's under your BB where the cable (s) run.

A bottom bracket cable guide is a small bit usually made of plastic that attaches to your bb shell to position the cable as it goes under your bb.

Damn it. Too slow

I thought one SRAM mech covered 31.8 and 34.9 and there's a specific 34.9 one as well but that's just what I saw on a site somewhere.

I like the shifting of X9 but only use one on the jump bike now because I had trouble with the jockey wheels blocking. This mech was still working perfectly over the biggest sprockets even before I jet washed it. The smaller cogs were blocked with mud, fine gravel and grass.

My BMX is Smimano free I think.

So it is a standard size and I don't need to worry about the sizing.


Still willing to sell Pete?

You'd have to buy an after market cable set too, most workshop stocks of cable outer is Shimano.

I agree with the John though, that the SRAM front mechs really aren't as good as the Shimano one, and it's a bit of a waste of time, but whatever floats your boat :-)

havent got anything against shimano just like things to match.

Get a Shimano rear mech then :-0

So get all Shimano? They're the only company to make an entire groupset. Unless you're counting Avid & Truvativ as SRAM.

Beaten by 2 seconds :-)

but theres nowt wrong with my x9 thats waiting to be fitted.

The problem with X9 is the same as the problem with XO. The lack of a decent front mech.

The point was if you want everything to match then the only option you have is Shimano, it was tongue in cheek, don't worry.

SRAM's just too inconsistent in terms of price IMO for it to realistically compete with Shimano across the board. The X.0 shifters are more than double the price of XTR, as is the rear mech, but the cassette is the same price as XT, they need a more standardised hierarchy.

dunno about the rrp of sram i've been getting mine from the woolleyhat shop on ebay, i've saved nearly £600 on rrp so far.

£150 on brakes hayes el camino at crc
£150 on the forks
£10 on the b/b
£5 skewers
