    Just ordered Box 2 Prime 9....SO STOKED! I’ve been watching Seth’s Bike Hacks forever and have seen you guys evolve, from the custom shifters to the 9 speeds and beyond. Happy to support your growing brand and stoked for your future 🤘🏻

    You forgot to mention an important point: before cable install, shift the index to the lowest gear so you have the least amount of slack in the cable before attaching to the derailleur.

    Wouldn’t you want to do shifter cables after the chain? Considering that installing the chain would introduce some slack to the shifter cable?

  • @BoxComponentsOfficial

    2 жыл бұрын

    We mention to install the chain first because some will install the cable and try to adjust the limits with no chain. On our derailleur, the upper pulley will hit the cassette if the cable is installed with no chain. The chain is needed to add tension to the system and provide clearance for the upper pulley.

    It's almost here! It looks like FedEx changed my delivery date from tomorrow to the day after though... grrrrr!! Anywho, something I just realized, I can't tell if a cable housing is included with the shifter, or. is it just the cable itself? I hope a housing comes with it, otherwise I will have to order another one... the one that is on my bike now is almost too short (I installed slightly wider handlebars), and it looks like this derailleur sticks out a little farther than my stock derailleur...

    Fcuk me I feel like i just watched a 70s porn movie and voiced over by a dude recording on a 70s mic. :D I want an installation video of the Box Three Prime 9, cause i want to know why there is an alloy spacer. It surely can't be to space the 9spd cassette out? Then it would just be like a... 12speed cassette reducer spacer to a 9 and that's not what I was told by my rep. I've not had a chance to read through the book as it's in the customers house just now till installtion. Cheers.
