Drivetrain & Brakes

I have a new Canyon Grizl and got a great deal from WesternBikeWorks to add more bling when the time comes. With the Oil Slick SRAM RED chain, valve stems, and bottle carriers added now the bling is coming together. All of the products (mostly purchased through WBW) for the Grizl (and my other bikes) have been of high quality and I do receive my orders very quickly. I have had to return a set of pedals due to manufacturing problems, an it was not a big deal at all working with WBW to get it remedied. They have been my go to bike store for quite some time for a reason!

A little over 10 years ago I was still riding a double chainring CX bike. Up until the last lap, I was able to ride everything in the big ring but my legs were screaming and I clicked down to get some relief. Nothing happened. My front derailleur was full of mud and grass and the chain stayed on the big ring as I suffered up the hill. It was in that moment that I decided to ditch the front derailleur and begin a new struggle � the struggle to keep the chain on the ring.

While the narrow-wide and clutch/tension systems work well most of the time � they failed me at the worst possible times: attacking off the front or desperately trying to stay attached. I�ve tried many of the options; some couldn�t handle the full range of the cassette, some were heavy and clunky, and some just didn�t keep the chain on.

The GnarWolf has, so far, kept my chain on and allows the full range of my 11-32 cassette.

This chain has been my go-to chain for use on the multiple E-MTB's I have owned. This chain provides many miles of smooth reliable performance and precise shifting. I just purchased a new Specialized Turbo Levo E-MTB and replaced the the new GX chain with this one and immediately noticed the difference. This PCXX1 chain is much quieter and the drive train shifts smoother. Plus, I know from thousands of miles of experience with these chains that they're extremely durable and reliable in all weather and terrain conditions. Highly recommend this high quality chain!

I've been using this 10 speed 12-25 cassette for years. Most of my shifts are only 1 tooth, which makes for instant & smooth shifting. So glad Western Bikeworks still stocks this in this age of 12 speed popularity.
