sram xx vs Shimano xtr

[Gsxr]

Which is tops sram xx or Shimano xtr rear derailleur?

[mtb_Josh]

Well in my humble opinion X0 is better than xtr... so you do the math

[WorcesterWheelers]

Got to aggree with mtb josh.

Have used both and you will really be pushed to tell the difference. XTR has a lighter shifting action.  XX dual chainring set up is streets ahead of anything else though.

[HaAs]

XX for sure

I've been running my XTR as a dual set up for 4years now so Sram isn't the first to think of it, they were the first to market it in a groupset...The new XTR will have a similar setup

 

Its hard for me as I like both groupsets, both have their positives and negatives...

Shimano for me. I used my XTR rear derailleur for so long that the alu inner cage literally wore through and the wheels ground down to sharks teeth (about 2 years use).

 

Bought a seperate inner cage/wheels and voila - good for another 20,000km.

 

I am completely bias though - I am completely Shimanobefok.

 

 

[rock]

why are you comparing juts the rear derailleur? they're completely incompatible - so assume you're comparing complete groupsets?

 

 

 

Sram all the way

Thning is that XTR dual doesn't give you the chainring flexibility unless you use the after market stuff.

Shimano will be bringing out a whole range of new 2 blade cranks right down to SLX level as well as 10 speed cassettes later on in the year.

The SLX double is already available. The new XT/XTR double is the worst kept secret in MTB ;-) June/July I think....

the slx double crank isn't a 'real' double crank as all they've done is remove the outer blade they still use the same chainline etc. and don;t offer the types of ratio's offered by XX

[Weight Weenie]

I would just like to test drive these 2x9/10 setups, got xtr last year and really happy, but the weight weenie racer in me always wants lighter and faster

 

Unsure what I'll manage to ride with those ratios, although being able to use the whole cassette probly removes the need for the 3rd ring. 

 

Anyway I think I'm just lazy sometimes and could be riding a bigger gear in certain places

How have you been running dual,chainrings in inner and middle or middle and outer.

 

What size chainrings are you using?

The debate is about XX and the new XX has a proprietry BCD bein 120mm so NO other rings will fit, whereas the current XTR can be fitted with SLX rings if need be.

I have been running the outer and middle and I'm using the standard 32/44 rings with a 11-32 casette...
