Review on ๐Ÿšฒ SRAM 9-Speed Twist Set at Centera by Joshua Morales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just make sure you don't have any compatibility issues

I bought these to get my 1x9 road bike shifting the way I wanted - a continuous range of gearing from one controller. All numbers worked well - the number of teeth on my cassette cogs gave the same range as the previous 2x7 setup. Even after converting the friction shifters to clicky shifters and adjusting the cable stops correctly, it still didn't shift properly. Turns out the awful SRAM isn't compatible with Shimano. Shimano cassette plus Shimano rear derailleur plus SRAM rear derailleur result in jerky gear changes. Do yourself a favor and coordinate them better than me. Not a very expensive mistake, but I want to avoid it. Was it a good werewolf? - yes, in all respects, except for the lack of synchronization. God, I wanted it to work the way I envisioned it. Sigh.
