ChrisL Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Im going to replace my SLX cassette, and im considering upgrading it to an XT cassette. Is it worth it? Will i notice any difference or will i just be wasting money. I have had no trouble with the SLX, so have no issue with replacing like for like. Thoughts and or experiences?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 All XT offers is (slightly) lighter weight. If anything, the SLX will be more durable and longer lasting. While you're at it, get a new chain as well. Using a worn chain on a new casette & vice versa isn't the smartest thing to do. Something like an SRAM PC 951 will be perfect (unlesss it's 10 speed)

ChrisL Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks guys Bikeshop already replaced the chain and said that should do the cassette at the same time. I asked for a quote and felt that it was slightly on the high side and decided to check CWC. Can get it considerably cheaper there.
