turtlek Posted August 25, 2008 Share ? 10-speed does not offer one single advantage over 9-speed. 10-speed chains and sprockets don't last as long as their 9-speed cousins. ? The only reason you should be considering 10-speed is to score coffee-shop points and succumb to peer pressure. ? ?? I agree 10 speed is rubbish. ? Now 11 Speed that is something else' date=' what an innovation, climb like a rocket, desend like an eagle, hammer on the flats like a freight train, sprint like a cheetah.[/quote'] and get dropped quicker if you cant ride the gear properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhite Posted August 25, 2008 Share Oiltrash: Is this the bike? http://www.bikebay.co.za/Products/ProductProfile.aspx?ProdGuid=5992f62c-a6c5-4b3b-9c44-81eb01235950 just check what the crank length is on the bike, because DA wasn't an original fit on the bike - my guess the bike was bought to take a 10 speed ultegra off and fit a 9 speed DA (mever mind that the second hand DA will outlast the new ultegra stuff easily) turtlek: yep the 9 speed 7700 series was seriouly robust stuff - did 50000km on my group. Changed some chains, a few clusters, 1 big blade at about 45000km..... and some break pads. Everything else just kept on going. If my 10 speed DA lasts that well, I'll be very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
