boy racer Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Want to upgrade my Fatty What do I goIt has Sram X5 on it now, do I go Sram X5 higher??? Or Shimano Slx higher I really don't mind either as my other bikes have XTR full groupset and Full XX Sram Groupset
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 X7 is equivalent to slx ito hierarchy.. But lately the price of slx makes it very hard to ignore
the nerd Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I don't think you will have much difference between the two honestly. The sram x5 will work the same and not be that shitty. Unless you want to of course... then do it...
boy racer Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks guys Would rather upgrade properly then
kinggrant Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I ride with SRAM all round but head to head SLX is better than X5, but if you riding two Want to upgrade my FattyWhat do I goIt has Sram X5 on it now, do I go Sram X5 higher??? Or Shimano Slx higherI really don't mind either as my other bikes have XTR full groupset and Full XX Sram Groupset If your other bikes have full XTR and XX then your hang both sides of the fence. Head to head SLX is better than X5 Im a SRAM fan but if you upgrading the lot just take what ever gets you the most bang for your buck ------ just dont mix match SRAM and Shimano on the same bike
the nerd Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Well this is the big thing, you not going to get a huuuuge improvement over X5 with SLX... but say you upgraded to XTR like your others then thats a different story.
boy racer Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 What is the X5 group not doing adequately?It work's well Just want to do the shifters and brakes, rest will leave alone
