AndreZA Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 great to hear the reports on the bike. Why did you change to Sram RD - see lots of guys are doing this - new "thing of the month" or whats the reasons Grip shift is lighter - thats about it' date=' O and easier to service[/quote'] he proberbly wanted gripshifts and the only way to do this is to change the rear derailleur. But you can get gripshifts that works with Shimano. .
philip.maree Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Once you have tried gripshifts you would love it. I prefer SRAM over the Shimano's as the shifting is smoother in my opinion. SRAM triggers are also very nice though but it purely a preference thing And they are lighter philip.maree2009-03-17 08:10:57
M44SE Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 .......Once you have taking your bike thru the mud at Sabie you can only have SRAM RD it changes thru anything.....Gripshift is heaps better, my opinion less working parts on a MTB the better....i was always cleaning or fixing something on the triggers...... Enjoy your new Bike
JoeK Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hey Astana, I am in the market for a 2nd hand mtb. Winter training on the road is torture. Would you sell your mtb to a poor currently disadvantaged???
Zula Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hey Astana, Congrats on ur new purchase. Im sure u gonna absolutely love it. I did my first race on Sunday with the TFS 900, and it never skipped a beat. That XT is rock solid. Mr Merida, I like ur taste!
Zula Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 phillip maree, I agree with u 100% on that saddle. I personally think its a disgrace. I mean you paying good money for the bike, but that saddle is basically a piece of plastic with a cloth covering. I put a specialized on and so far so good. Cant understand how they can manufacture such k@k
Zula Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Joek r u interested in a gt avalanche 3 disc?? R3500??
JoeK Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Noche you've got a pm. Sorry for the hijack. Nice bike astana
