The reason I ask is because I recently got the SRAM x.0 gripshift groupset..... 

 

and I find it hard to believe that something else can be better.... Embarrassed

"gripshift" is not a groupset, it's just the shifters. The best groupset is the one that gives you the best performance for the least amount of money and that is Shimano SLX.

moet nou nie jou naam gestand doen nie, mampara.....

 

'n goeie begrip het 'n halwe woord nodig, en dit vat nie mos nou nie baie om te sien wat ek bedoel het nie.......

 

maar ok, dankie vir jou inset rakende die slx....

 

rakende die slx......  kry mens slx rims ook?

nee maar ook nie X.0 nie. BTW, 'n rim is net 'n gedeelte van 'n wiel. Jy moet nog speke, naaf en , kan ek waag om dit te s?, nipples bysit om 'n kompleet wiel te maak.

My vote goes to an XT/XTR mix - XTR is awesome but man it just doesn't last.

 

The perfect gruppo:

XTR: shifters, RD

XT: FD, BB, crankset, cassette, chain

I rode my LBS's loan bike while i waited for mine to be built up, their loan bike had X.0 trigger shifters and derailers on. (rode it for about 3 weeks and did a good bit of riding on it)

My bike has a XT groupset on, and I must be honest i found the XT's shifting to be better than the X.0's. So i would think the XTR would be even better

you don't want to try XTR because you would want it and then the rest of the groupset to match and before you know it, you are broke.

Exactly that... simply superb. Value for money and awesome performance.

just curious.... what does the XTR shifters and RD retail for these days?

 

I got my X.0 gripshifts and RD for R2300.....

The majority of MTB XC riders in the world ride with Shimano. The best riders in the world ride with SRAM (especially the XO gripshifters, now they ride with the new XX groupset) Wink
