How long would an X4 mech last doing DH? Just because I have one lying in the shed unused so if it means I can save 20 quid that would be great.

On the other hand, if it will only last 20 seconds then that money will be well spent, even in the UK our descents last longer than that :lol:

    My Chucker has an X4 mech and apart from like zero sealing on the jockey wheels it has been dropped and crashed on several times and is still fine.

    One of those components that is designed for mechanical muppets inasmuch that it keeps shifting cleanly no matter how badly adjusted.

    That's good to know, I can now go and spend that 20 quid on some pedals

    Now, do I get the B137B or B18 by Wellgo, hmmmmmm. Still wish I had the money for Nano's so which is more similar?

    it will last as long as any other mech.
