Meentb Posted August 8, 2012 Share Howzit guys. I need your input on the following! Im riding a Specialized stumpjumper expert 29er hardtail with the Following specs. Brake set: Formula R1s Front derailleur: Sram X-7 10speedRear derailleur: Sram X-0 10speedShift lever set: Sram X-9 triggerCrankset: Custom Sram carbon s-2200 What i want to do is change the whole groupset to XT! Would it be a stupid decision or not. The current ratios are 11-36 at the back and 38-24 up front which really work well! Thanks guys Looking forward to your POSITIVE input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robrider Posted August 8, 2012 Share Why do you want to change? I prefer shimano, but changing for the sake of changing, I don't think is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meentb Posted August 8, 2012 Share Why do you want to change? I prefer shimano, but changing for the sake of changing, I don't think is a good idea. I prefer shimano. Always used It so know it really well. And its not so helluva expensive to replace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted August 8, 2012 Share If I remember correctly the Formula R1s are some of the lightest brakes you get. Keep them. Take the rest of the money and go for X0 or XX mechs and shifters. Leave the rest. THat is only if and when things wear out or break. Stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariusC Posted August 8, 2012 Share If it aint broken don't fix it. Getting the XT is not gona improve your riding skills. my 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 8, 2012 Share Agree with all the above. Keep what you have. Yes, the XT is pretty. No, it doesn't work any better or worse than what you have. Replace it when it breaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted August 8, 2012 Share I'd also stay where you are.......When it breaks, replace with what you want.I can only think of the XT brakes that is going to be awesome. The rest of the stuff is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted August 9, 2012 Share Meentb, I'd agree with the rest of the comments, keep what you have in terms of groupset, but maybe upgrade the seatpost, stem and bars For fun, weight and LOOKS. Edited August 9, 2012 by TheV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranswurm Posted August 9, 2012 Share What you have is better than full XT Spend the money on decent wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meentb Posted August 9, 2012 Share Okay thanks for all the input. Will follow some inputs from here. Have already done the handlebar to carbon. Seatpost to follow. And ive bought a set of ztr arch wheels with Agago hubs. Shimano ice tech rotors and a sram xx cassette. Super light for the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
