Perfect fit, I was worried how my bike.

Fits perfectly, I was concerned as my bike is cheap but after carefully researching the specs and fitting them to my bike it works like a charm. I had a little trouble setting it up because I stubbornly didn't read the instructions. After reading them and learning the function of the switch, I set it up and it worked fine. Great product for the price.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Some issues

Works great with Shimano tuning.

I switched from a Shimano setup to my production mountain bike. After installing this with an X4 derailleur and a Sram chain, it worked great and saved me a few grams. No, you can't use this with another brand's derailleur (and most likely a chain). I was also able to keep the cassette and chainrings. This is definitely a Shimano system upgrade. You won't find anything better in this price range.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Cheap plastic but works great.

I ordered an X3 switch as a cheap makeshift while waiting for the US Postal Service to deliver the X7 switch that was lost in the mail. X3 works fantastic. yes it is plastic Yes, the pulleys are not interchangeable. Yes, only $20. But if it switches extremely softly and precisely. I have since received and installed the X7 derailleur I originally ordered and can hardly tell the difference. The X7 is all aluminum (apart from the cable hook/loop) and the pulleys are replaceable. The X7 might be a

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

JUST SEEMS A GOOD DEAL

I thought I got a good deal when I bought this switch but little did I know you couldn't get everything. You exclude mounting material from the purchase. There's no indication that it's not included and has to be purchased separately, giving the impression that they're aware of the alleged faux pas, making it look even more like a scam. The excluded bolt is usually fastened. to the switch and is held there with the supplied locking ring, but not in this case. Although the excluded part is justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

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 arrivedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • I don't really like it, it's ok
