Best mtb groupset....

[Mackie]

The best groupset is the groupset that feels good to YOU!

I ride XTR brakes, XO triggers and RD, LX cranks and it works for me.

[GoLefty!!]

The default answer to the question is XTR.

 

SRAM does not supply  a MTB groupset to SA yet. the first will be SRAM X.X which is due in September on our shores.

 

Please revise the question or accept the only answer is XTR

 

thanks

SRAM XO. It beats XT and XTR hands down.

[Marius]

I have a Mix of XTR and SRAM X.O, works well for me.

[Dirty Twin]

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

nee maar ook nie X.0 nie. BTW' date=' '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.[/quote']

I still want to know why you do not get a Sram equiped bike in the shops with a Sram front derailleur and or Truvativ crank. Yes I know you can get is seperately but not equiped as OEM.

[Thug]

I've been riding XTR Triggers and RD for the past 2 years and have never had a single moments problem.

I found the best for me was a big mix of both:

 

Sram Attack/Rocket shifter (You get the Sram solid defined shift feel)

XT RD (You get the silky smooth shifting)

XT Cassette (its lighter than Sram, cost less than XTR and works just as well)

Shimano Chain

And the front doesn't matter really, its not working so hard and shifting distances are so broad that anything could work.

 

Gripshifts are guff, but thats just me. They get in the way

 

[no calves]

ok to stop all the questions. the TOP mix is X-0 R. der. X-9 F. der. X-0 Gripshifts and.... wait for it... XTR cranks. it is not what I ride but what I researched.

Sram is MUCH cheaper than XTR. R980 for the top casette compared to R1550 for a XTR.

Sram's 1:1 is silky smooth in mud.

Sram X-0 is more hardwearing than XTR

 

(I personally rode X-9. Just fitted my X-0 Gripshifts and waiting for my X-0 Jochey from CRC. I am using a stylo witch I rate as almost "XTR" so where is the NIOR's competition then?)

 

P.S. would you rather ride Brakes from SRAM or Brakes from a company who makes fishing stuff

[Dirty Twin]

I run full X-9 from back to front RD & Trigger shifters for the past 2 years and they work fine for me. Have contemplated trying the gripshift but keep on resisting the urge.

I think for know I will stick to the triggers.

X.O Gripshifter with XTR FD'er - Then a X.O RD'er with XTR Crankset - XT Cassette with SRAM Chain - Oh, XTR V-Brakes with Avid Speed Dial levers.

I love my Sram, beeing riding X9 triggers for ages, swapped a couple of days ago to X0 gripshifts, still getting used to it, but seems quite good. All that said, the shimano SLX is a really nice groupset, especially if you look at the preformance/price ratio of it compared to XTR, X0 and XX

My previous bike I bought was completely fitted with sram/truvativ/avid/rockshox.......  (all part of the same company, or group atleast), so I got a good deal!

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

 

?

 

The perfect gruppo:

 

XTR: shifters' date=' RD

 

XT: FD, BB, crankset, cassette, chain

[/quote']

 

 

 

That's why you should buy SRAM

You make a noticable point Crow.....  I'm sure you could get an X.0 groupset for almost the same price as XT......  with quality nearer to XTR......
