Having eyed TRP’s G-Spec DH7 system for a long time, wishing I had a DH bike, I was over the moon when I heard TRP was launching a 12-speed drivetrain. It didn’t take long for me to tear open the box containing the new TRP G-Spec TR12 components and get them mounted on my bike. It was time to hit the trails and begin the break-in process.
As my first test ride began, I noticed the spacing between the upshift and downshift trigger was tight. The upshift trigger was in a great location and is very easy to reach but I wanted to adjust the location of the downshift lever to better suit my hand position and thumb length. After just a couple minutes of tweaking the lever spacing, I was much happier and ready to continue my ride. Now after six rides it feels like home and I have come to enjoy how easy it is to transfer back and forth, making shifts very comfortable and natural.
