Upgraded groupset: slx m7000

[3000V6]

Lying in bed thinking of my resent upgraded groupset, suppose i am trying to justify the cost R12000. That was brakes,full groupset, changed from 3x10 to 2x11. Was done by a well known bikeshop. It was well worth, as it runs very smoothly and i am quite impressed with the upgrade. I have a scott spark , 2012 full suspension, the cost then was approx R17000, recently i was thinking of purchasing a new bike, but what i was looking at was close to R40 to R50k.Could not justify that hence the upgraded groupset. Perhaps this is the route to go, the frame was fine, suspension still ok, just the old shimano groupset that was worrying. So after all, perhaps money well spend

Take all the hype that manufacturers spew about their latest frame and divide by 10. Then if it still seems like a big improvement consider a new bike.

 

My old 2004 Maverick with 3x9 XT is still a good ride.

Nice! Which groupset did you have before the upgrade. Which model spark is it that you have from 2012?

 

How do you find the breaking compared to your old set?

Old groupset was shimano and brakes where avid, brakes are much sharper. Scott spark, model i think model team?, damm am not so sure now, am on holiday now but without the bike.. The nice is that with the 3x10, u cannot use all the rear gears, with the 2x11, this is no longer a problem.

Am glad i did the up grade, just wanted to hear what u guys had to say regarding the 3x10 vs 2x11. Checked the web, and it aapears to be well worth the change.
