Swart Kat Posted June 25, 2013 Share I would like to ride a bike fitted with XX1! Where can I test ride one or if anyone is willing to go for a ride and swop bikes, let me know! You will be riding a Scott Spark 910 2013 model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forthefun Posted June 25, 2013 Share With tears in my eyes - for your own sake and your riding -go only Shimano. Unless you happy to sit fiddling and replacing parts every few months. Unless - you a pro with backup mechanic , I sure you be fine. Mtblife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonF_ Posted June 26, 2013 Share Thx guys, now you make me worry with all the comments, I've just gone full XO and getting the bike back today... C'mon, where's the "its awesome, bombproof, shweet, Fantbulous" commentating!!!! Izak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted June 26, 2013 Share Thx guys, now you make me worry with all the comments, I've just gone full XO and getting the bike back today... C'mon, where's the "its awesome, bombproof, shweet, Fantbulous" commentating!!!! I rode Shimano XT for years - no problem, it did not like very wet really bad muddy conditions though. Switched to Sram X9 for 4 years and now ride X0 and they are both brilliant - especially in *** conditions. Not sure if the two who posted negative comments on Sram are on some kind of pescription medication or something.

niterider Posted June 26, 2013 Share To answer the OP's question, if you ride XX1, you probably won't want to give it back. Li Mu Bai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushGoblin Posted June 26, 2013 Share this sounds like a Canon vs Nikon fred... obviously Canon is better and so is SRAM - just saying I think i agree with nitrider, if you try it you wont give it back... but a bit too rich for my blood. maybe X01?

zork Posted June 26, 2013 Share got xx1 for a while now ,not one problem so far,will never go back.just make sure about main blade size,started with the 38t ,then got the 36t,bought the 32t on J2C,getting now the 34t,think that is the allrounder for me.
