Review on ๐Ÿšฒ SRAM X3 Derailleur 2016: Superior Performance and Precision by Timothy Jimenez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shame again Shimano!

I bought this Sram X3 rear derailleur because I didn't know that my Shimano was not compatible with my X3 and X4 rear derailleurs. Shimano was not only incompatible, but also worn out, which made matters worse. When I received the X3 derailleur, I noticed that Shimano had permanent rear suspension, so I ordered a new mount for a store-bought mountain bike. Well this mount was supposed to take a month to ship and I was frustrated that I couldn't fit a Sram rear derailleur by the time it arrived so I went on an adventure at a bike shop and asked if anyone had one I could buy . And actually after visiting a local bike shop that didn't have one I went to another shop that had the cutest black woman who said she had a bike and she went and found it in her shop and said she had it would cost $13. I explained my dilemma to her and she was kind enough to sell it to me for $6. So I have a new cycling jersey that I bought in China, it's really cool and it was small, wasn't it? So for this lovely lady who gave me the bracket to mount my X3 on and by the way it now shifts like a dream and is crisp to wonderful with every gear change. Definitely I will take this t shirt to this lady and give it to her for the kindness she has shown me. I really needed this clamp to stop the bouncing and other shit that happens with my drive train and it was so cool that I could buy this clamp cheap so she can get this bike jersey 30 from me. Thanks Sram for the great The X3 is a nice setup, now it shifts great, crisp, smooth, the shifter was the ticket for sure. Sram shifters, derailleurs and all other products are much better suited to low-end gear than anything Shimano has, and unlike Shimano, they can also be disassembled. I also bought a good setup and upgrade for this store for 29 rubles. thanks scar Dol
