stringbean Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 As always lot's of opinions from the hub.Any opinions from people who have actually ridden the groupset?
Ryanpmb Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I can see bling bling bling. And I see:The cassette /freewheel combo's only to fit on certain hubs EXPENSIVE Expensive to replace cassette. You end up loosing the top end and/or the bottom end of your gearing.In short, it looks good. But the practicality of the cassette/freewheel is not to my taste.A lot of manufacturers are producing replacement free bodies for their current hubs (as well as specific hubs).
Tuxstir Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 A lot of manufacturers are producing replacement free bodies for their current hubs (as well as specific hubs). And from what I understand is the new free wheel configuration is backwards compatible with the shimano standard cassette ,
amasendeinja Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Considering how fast 2x10 moved down the range from XX, we'll have X0-1 by the end of this year and probably down as far as X5-1 by end of next year. Then at least you won't have to sell one of your kids to buy the groupset. So you could actually ride one and thus actual experience as opposed to opinions. I'd certainly like to give it a bash, but at R4k+ for a "consumable" like a cassette, methinks not! Ryanpmb 1

Ryanpmb Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Read between the 'posts' and you'll realize people are saying its too expensive.
