XT compatible with XTR

[Gert Janse v Rensburg]

does the XT chainrings fit onto the XTR crankset.....

 

got a deal from a buddy of mine to buy a XTR crankset from him but dont want to buy the XTR chain rings in future.... they are just to expensive....

just so you know this is not for weight saving.... jus for the look of the XTR....

The new 970 XTR cranksets are the 770 XT cranksets are both compatible with each other.

 

The older 960 XTR units have very specific chainring sizes. You can either buy, XTR chainrings, Middleburn, Blackspire, TA Specialites etc. I reckon you're best bet to be the Middlebur ones. I had a 29 tooth ring cut out for my 960 at local engeneering worrks. Maybe one of your local ones can help.

Is R2000 for cranks, blades and BB a reasonable price.....

MTBking, I actually don't know. Believe it or not. Every time it's time to replace rings, I get a new groupset. A bit extreme but it works.

 

But if the holes line up, I don't see a problem. BUT the cranks will not look very nice when you do not atleast have a matching big ring on. That is why I never buy the top of the line products. They spend more time on appearance then function.

They do not specify models but they say Shimano compatible.

Shimano M970 XTR and M770 XT are cross compatible, ...just.

The Bolt circle diameters are the same but the thichness of the chainrings are different.

Other Chain rings will fit onto the Shimano Cranksets but you'll have to readjust your front derailleur.

thats a great price - where from - CWC advertise for R4600 something. Can get it less overseas online but certainly not for 2K.
