BrandonF_ Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 IMHO you can't go much better on a "budget" than XO. I've been riding that for 4 years now and it is strong as anything and handles anything that some of the races including 3 years of Lord of the Chainrings (3 days of mud and guts) can throw at you. Unfortunately I have had no great experiences with Shimano. I'm sure they're good but I'm a SRAM devotee, It's never let me down!! I would however also like to try the new XX1 config. Main issue with the top end sets are that they are angled more towards team riders in their design and therefore might require more maintenance.Got the CWC special, R10999 fitted, for a full XO rig, I think it looks Ayoba! Testing it (for the first time) at the Knysna 80km tomorrow! Meezo 1

Stunning weer gehad en geniet nou n glasie rooiwyn in Stilbaai
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Not really a special though Cassette R4149Crank BB30 R3539Derailleur R3379Gripshifter R1769 Total R12836 Now hotspotcycles quoted on one of there other ads that a BB30 groupset would be R12900 For R64 ill rather buy from a shop where I can walk in and talk to them if something is wrong. Also just make sure you get a Chainring with the groupset... Supplier changed cranksets so that they are now supplied WITHOUT the chainring but at the same price! XX1 Chainrings are about R1100 each...

Paul Ruinaard Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Go ask the bike shop mechanics. I have not heard one that recommends SRAM.....SRAM is off my personal bikes. Preference? I suppose like Campy. costly but bullet proof. No bike mechanic I spoke to would recommend SRAM and ia sked a few over the years. No BS. Go Figure. Marketing Dollars? American versus Japanese engineering?Would you drive a GM Truck or a Toyota? Make mine Japanese....

Not Shimano vs SRAM. niterider 1
kosmonooit Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Nothing wrong with SRAM, every brand has it blips and lemons from time to time, but I am much happier with SRAM on me 5 'dales that I ever was with Shimano. SRAM have been innovators - first 2x10 now 1x11, I am going to wait for that X0 kit to try on my hardtail Edited June 30, 2013 by kosmonooit

Newboy Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Sorry stupid question and might have been answered,can I convert my current Sram Quarq 2x10 crank to 1x11? I know I will have to replace everything on the back.
Meentb Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Umm , I think the XX 1 is made by SRAM? Now that explains your Hub name pretty well Ryanpmb, DR ◣◢, Meezo and 1 other 4
nickc Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Umm , I think the XX 1 is made by SRAM? IQ of 2, was it you sprouting the same *** in one of the other threads Shimano vs Sram recently. So now we face a delema: Either you are you a troll?Your IQ really is 2.You are still on that powerful prescription medication. Paul Ruinaard 1
