xx1 is the way to go in my opinion! There are 32, 34, 36 and 38 blades. So you have a choice of gears. When 2x10 was launched most people also wondered if you would have enough gears. If I am not mistaken Max Knox rode SA marathan champs on them and still rides it! Buy the way if your moaning about the price... Works out about a R1 500 more than X0 2x10. Replacing the cassette may be a bit hard on the wallet. All I got to say... It is a personal choice what you want.

That's some bad ****. Not good. Things are not suppose to break BUT here is a lesson. There is a point where weight must be ignored and stiffness and durability must be taken into consideration. Accept when you are a World Tour rider. Then you just take. Can get new stuff anytime you want.

Did not mean it in a bad way to you. But really it is worth while the read!

If you want to exclude dopers you can exclude every Pro Tour team rider basicly.... Its the game. Do some research on it. Also read tyler hamilton's new book. It is a eye opener for some people. But still love cycling.
