I've run up against this problem in the past with an old Trek 750 and the solution was new wheels. If I'm not mistaken, the freehub bodies are incompatible, and you're pretty much stuck with your cassette unless you want to shell out for a NOS specimen. According to the catalog on, it should be a freewheel if your stuff is stock.īut if the hubs are Suntour, and you want to replace the cassette with a Shimano one, bad news. If it's a freewheel you're talking about, then you're good to go. So.Suntour XCE with Accushift thumb shifters, or Altus with rapidfire shifters ignoring my personal preference of shifter type. Other than that, I have all the other components on hand. Making the switch would cost me $15 for a 7 speed Tourney freehub to replace the Suntour one. Brand new Price stated is for 1 suspension fork SR Suntour XCE Suspension Fork Disc brake 1 1/8 steerer uncut 178mm 9mm QR 110mm travel Fork is 29 it. I don't know enough about either groupset to know if I would actually be downgrading components by switching to the 2012 7 speed Altus stuff.

What I wonder is how to properly adjust the fork softness/stiffness as I encountered some bumps with stiff feelings on the fork.

It has preload adjuster on the left and lock on the right. I have put 1.75" urban tires on the bike and will throw a rack on the back to make it a shopping/commuter rider. Ive got an SR Suntour XCM HLO 27.5' 100mm travel that comes with my bike. Shimano, but my question is more, which groupset would you personally prefer?

FREE SHIPPING on all orders over 25 in Cont. That aside the XC 30 is a functional fork that requires little maintenance and is found as a standard component on many off the shelf bikes in the RM2500-RM3500 range. SR Suntour XCE Crankset, 170mm x 48/38/28, 119 JIS SQR TPR, Black 71.95 88.00 Save 16.05. 2 kilos in mountain bike terms is nothing short of 'heavy as hell'. I'm aware that I unfortunately cannot just swap the shifters due to Suntour vs. The XC 30 is a coil sprung fork that weights in at about 2200grams. The frame is far too small, so it will be a donor bike. I has all components on it except the wheels, so all 7 speed Altus including the rapid fire style shifters. The thing is, I really don't like thumb shifters very much and prefer fully indexed Shimano style rapid fire shifters.Ībout the same time I also came across a 2012 Diamondback Clarity with no wheels that the owner gave me for 5 bucks. It has the original drivetrain which includes Suntour XCE components and Accushift thumb shifters. Now, the XCT and XCM you mention are probably not good enough if you want a mountain bike to go anywhere where suspension is actually beneficial - rough stuff and small jumps. Sorry if thats all obvious, just wanted to make it clear. Hi folks, so I picked up a gorgeous 1989 Trek 830 in intense blue with white and pink graphics (super 80's!) in fantastic condition for a song. The Suntour Auron seems well reviewed, for example.
