Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Hey all....went to look at a beautifull second hand Scott S1 on the weekend and it is in excellent condition. It has a full dura-ace groupset BUT it has a 9 speed cluster.. is this a problem, should I rather look for something that has 10 speed....? .
Racer X Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Nothing wrong with 9 speed. You can upgrade to 10 speed as the bits wear out.
Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 what would need to be changes to upgrade to 10 speed?
Racer X Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Shifters, a cassette and a chain. You'll probably need a new chain to keep your new cassette happy.
Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 10k...as I said, excellent condition, carbon bottle cages, flight deck computer, everything is great but just want to check if 9 speed is recomended or not.
Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Large 55/56 cm... and I am pretty heavy 100 kgs..

[/quote'] R10k sounds a bit expensive second hand. I wonder what it would cost to convert to a 10 speed? And if it makes Rand and sense?

The only reason you should be considering 10-speed is to score coffee-shop points and succumb to peer pressure.
Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 hahahahahaha.....Thanks for the advice JB!

Now 11 Speed that is something else, what an innovation, climb like a rocket, desend like an eagle, hammer on the flats like a freight train, sprint like a cheetah.Foe Fighter2008-08-25 10:45:42
