Running cost of SRAM XX

[dmulles]

I'm keen to get full XX but am worried about how much it costs to keep it all going? Any clue as to how much it would cost to change chain rings, chain, cassette and bb? How tough is it as a whole?

this should give you a rough estimate

my guess you'd be looking at about R2000-2500 for casset and R300 for chain.

 

how long they last I cant really say, have never had the luxuary of using XX

[RoboLuke]

excellent question. also want to know

You should probably go through a chain and a casette in a year and the chairing you use the most should last about 2 years. This is with avg riding (6hrs a week on the mtb).

Way, way too expensive. I'll maar stick to my X0 with a nice R700 cassette and R200 chain. So I can replace my drivetrain twice more often and still have money to spare.

Try XX groupset but use X0 chain and cassette.

And you could destroy it all on one muddy ride.

I have xx. Just replaced chain for 500. When it comes time to replace the rest will be x0.

XX Cassette = R2300, lasts around 7000km (swopping chains at 0.75% of wear), that gave me a years riding.

Chains, well, as soon as you are at 0.75%

Chains, get the X0 equivalent.

Chainrings gave me 2years, but they still have GOOD life in them.

 

 

The rest of the components, still going strong after (close to) 4years of abuse.

Its fine to run XX.... but like the others say, run sram 1070 chains and cassettes...

Likewise with Simano, its cool to have XTR, but run XT chains and cassettes...
