XTR and XO mixed

[banna]

Just a quick question. If you put a mix of Shimano and SRAM components on your bike e.g. XTR m980 crankset/front derailleur and SRAM XO shifters/rear derailleur , would that have any negative impact on your shifting? In other words is it better for shifting if you have a groupset, rather than mixing between brands?

My brothers anthem is set up that way, shifts better than my XT....

You will be fine, as long as the shifters match the rear derailleur(SRAM-SRAM/Shimano-Shimano). You can use a mix of everything else.

Cool thx. One would think that a groupset would work better than mixing components, but maybe not so.

Ja, doesn't really matter how quickly you're going, as long as you look good, while standing still.
