SRAM.
I came from a 11x X01 with a 5 year lifespan in which I maybe only changed the cable once. Zero maintenance and it ran like clockwork.
The whole Eagle line has been a disappointment for me, from the bottom to the top products.
- sliken 4y agoWow, I've had really good luck with Eagle, I've talked to quite a few happy owners, was a huge upgrade over my previous shimano XTR. The year I got XTR it was quite the lemon, so much so that Mountain Bike Action (MBA) did an article on how terrible it was, I'd even get mocked by folks on the by folks recognizing the signature screech. Apparently the brake cylinders would fail, never retract, and the only fix was replacement, this combined with a light weight disc rotor with a particularly loud resonance. Very disappointing for a top of the line set of components. In any case, sorry to hear it. I'm not shopping a bike replacement and leaning towards an ebike, but trying to avoid the Shimano EP8, which again has a signature noise, loud clunk/clanking on the downhills when not under power.
