Enigma77 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 why shimano slx if i may ask?I started with Slx but recon the crank will be xt and brakes xt
DR ◣◢ Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I have some serious respect for the 2013 SLX stuff.  Bought the crank for my Morewood instead of the XT crank as well as the XTR crank I have access to. Light, stiff and looks awesome. Slight weight difference to the others. Well worth its money.  By all means. Spend good money on wheels and brakes. The investment will pay off. Enigma77 and Meezo 2
Meezo Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 why shimano slx if i may ask? Shuda asked why not xt, I've gone between slx and xt and they are both amazing to my limited knowledge i couldn't tell the difference. Never tried xtr so can't say.

CatGirl Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 ek moet my brieke verander en weet nie waarvoor om te gaan nie, my LBS se almal wat avid elixir x9 het verander na shimano toe. Ek kry kort kort probleme met die back break wat lug in kry en dit was al 2 keer in vir repairs! so nou weet ek nie

Ill stick to shimano, probably xt or magura if i want to splurge a bit.
