I have two sets of shifters for my mountain bike, SRAM X9 and Shimano LX, both in the same kind of condition. Not sure which one is better to keep on my bike.

 

Also have two options for a front shock, I have a Manitou Skareb and a Rock Shox Tora, which one should I keep? Both shocks don't have lockout and are pretty much similar.

 

Please help me out here by giving me advice as to which shifters and which front shocks I should keep?

Any comments welcome. I am leaning towards the SRAM X9 and Rock Shox Tora, but not sure.

I think the Skareb is lighter but I have only read bad things about it, they seem to flex a LOT and many many many reviews have said that they break if you put them under a little bit of pressure. They are both coil shocks, they aren't the latest models which are air. So they pretty similar just don't want the shock breaking on me when coming down hill at a speed and I go flying.
