Hey Ed. Aye, Joe spotted it: Box Components. Easy to miss, being a fairly generic sounding name. I got this groupset: https://www.boxcomponents.com/Box-Two-P9-X-Wide-Multi-Shift-Groupset_2
The cassette is steel cogs, so should last a good long while. Box offer several price points, creatively named one, two, three, and four. Grin. I got "two", it being the heartiest. I have a friction shifter new in box I'll return once I've ridden trails more to ensure everything is happy with the Silver Shifter. I got the groupset in case the silver shifter didn't work (Box said friction is not compatible though some have made it work ... then sent me to some fancy Wolf Tooth part. Riv said, "Box? It works great! SRAM, no, Box yes." I followed Box's install video and Riv's install page, and was prepared to be down a bike for however long it took me to dial things in. Best first test ride I've ever had of my own wrenching. Nothing to adjust. It was dialed. Oh, and you'll definitely want a quicklink tool ... these are stubborn to get in, and I has to work the links back and forth to loosen them up once clicked in. Today we're supposed to get rain and snow, desperately needed, so it'll be a good test of how it all works.
