I'm currently building my own bike. I was just thinking of SRAM, and here it is, GMBN giveaway. I would love to have one of these masterpieces.

This is awesome, I'm running a Shimano Altus 3by on my XC full squish and I drop chains whenever I go over roots or ruts. Good luck to everyone entering!

I've got this drivetrain on my new bike. Shifts like butter

[juliodiaz]

Ive recently tried sram and I Love it. In my country we ride a wide variety of XC, the range on this drivetrain would be freaking ideal for me *Drools intensively*

[vboytan]

He Neil, right back from the MTB Testival in Bressanone / Italy, I can tell you, the 500% range of the set is not a waste, and would love to have one on my bike : ) And good to have you back after your crash!

Lol I love it when Neil says "Give a thumbs up if you like free stuff"

[momentico]

Best giveaway on GMBN thank you very much guys !!!!

[williamwallace]

I really like my GX Eagle. The cassette is sorta loud, but it shifts smoothly and precisely, the shifter feels light and smooth, and makes a very nice 'tink!' noise when you shift with perfect cadence.

0:28 good job throwing that piece of foam that was there to protect the gx drivetrain. :)

[sashaivanov]

Hi Neil, you don't sound so good mate hope your feeling better soon and thanks for the vid on the new SRAM GX Eagle. Glad to hear the components are compatible with XX1 and XO1 kit, will be interesting when the time comes to replace worn components to see what the price difference is between the different that's a while off for me yet though.
