This drivetrain is ideal for gravel bikes, and is compatible with microSHIFT\u2019s 10-speed Advent-X drop-bar shifters.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, MicroSHIFT derailleurs feature a patented ratchet-and-pawl clutch system, which is both adjustable and rebuildable.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13802 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BT6A1103-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BT6A1103-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BT6A1103-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BT6A1103-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BT6A1103-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Advent<\/strong> \u2013 MicroSHIFT\u2019s Advent drivetrain is built to take all the abuse riders can throw at it without requiring adjustment or maintenance.
