Fork prob best thing on that bike,older xt does shift solidly.Could just get a 2012 bike for 10k.Go to Linden Cycles ask for wolfgang tell him your roadie looking into mtb, say you have 8-10k to spend, the man will help you. You cant get shafted as you do ride & have some knowledge of bikes. Edited May 23, 2012 by GrubScrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted May 23, 2012 Share The 8500 was a good machine, the only thing is that its a 9 speed while the current is 10.Maybe if the price comes down to R7 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on a 29er , or still the 26er Hard Tail. Do you find the ride HARD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJaCa Posted May 23, 2012 Share I don't think that's a 2009 XT rear derailleur. Check on the internet what a 2009 xt derailleur looks like. And anyway, for that price, look at bike shops, or Bargain the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
