T-Bob Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 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! http://www.quickmeme.com/img/61/612c2a41963c779a0477c6d5b91959a36ab2b351d9d117f19564d04fc63127c7.jpg Gandalf, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Vangar 3

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 New used Shimano XTR M987 brakes for my bike (and my lover also ) smIMG-20150218-WA0008.jpgsmIMG-20150218-WA0010.jpgsmIMG-20150218-WA0004.jpgJust a q - why XTR and not Saint?
s14phoenix Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 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... -which soothes the inner weight weenie. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and fanievb 2

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... s14phoenix 1

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! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
