And...how do find the Q rings?

 

and... I am an idiot. I happily bought the rings, checking the BCD, fine, they fit Shimano, awesome.

 

Only thing that like a chop I forgot that I punted my Shimano cranks some 14 months ago for a beast of an FSA SLK chain set which runs a 110 BCD. 

 

I went from super excited to sobbing in seconds. I'm blaming my new born and sleep deprivation. 

 

O'symetrics... coming this afternoon to a classifieds near you!

Just a q - why XTR and not Saint?

 

Why Saint and not XTR? - was more my question - (besides everything else is XTR so I weally weally wanted these ^_^ )

 

Honesty have not needed something like saint... the XT I had with 180mm front disk and 160mm rear disk has been sufficient for now. I have not needed more power than that yet but the bike is still a work in progress. As I need I will update. These are a helluvalot more powerfull than the stock shimanos that came on the Trance 2014 anyway.

 

Also the bike now weighs a total of only 12.3kg - ally frame, dropper and pedals and all... :thumbup:

 -which soothes the inner weight weenie. :blush:

Was just wondering why you went for the upgrade over XT if not for more power. Surely a lot more expensive for marginal gains, and the Saints would be a helluva lot more powerful. 

 

But - if weight loss was your goal, along with spec congruency, then cool. It works...

Well there was also the fact that my XT ones almost payed for these ( admittedly at hub classified prices) and my buddy took the XT to upgrade his Deore set which upgraded a troublesome set of Juicy 3 on his son's bike.

 

So there is an element of greater good that also happened with the parts go-round.

- Smiles all round! :clap:
