Racer X Posted August 25, 2008 Share Nothing wrong with 9 speed. You can upgrade to 10 speed as the bits wear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiltrash Posted August 25, 2008 Share what would need to be changes to upgrade to 10 speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted August 25, 2008 Share Shifters, a cassette and a chain. You'll probably need a new chain to keep your new cassette happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason you should be considering 10-speed is to score coffee-shop points and succumb to peer pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
