SteelyDan Posted November 3, 2010 Share I'm building up a Niner Jet 29'er. Last build came in at 11.4kgs - pretty good for a 29" dual suss... (I think?) Next one (now building) will use a 2 x 10 groupset. Weights are as follows: Cranks + BB - 840gTrigger shifters - 180g (I prefer gripshifts but these are not yet available)Brakeset, both - 400gCassette - 200gChain - 200g (uncut - not fitted yet - will be lighter)Rotors, both - 160gRD - 140gFD - 100g So - 2.20kg for the complete groupset, with rotors... Sounds good to me! SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted November 4, 2010 Share never really looked at the weight of XX but some of those a really impressive...... Although I do like the 'look' of the new XTR especially their 28/40 crankset. good thing I can't afford either :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted November 4, 2010 Share I have a full XX groupset on my Giant Anthem Advanced, moved from a XT groupset on my old MTB to the XX, at first the down shifting of the gears was strange but I got over that, the position of the brakes / shifters was also a problem at first, I had them too close to the grips, you have to position them further away to allow free movement of your thumb (up and down shift via the thumb) I now love the groupset, it works really well and the 2 x 10 is excellent, I went for a 42/28 in the front and a 11/36 in the back, the gearing is so wide that I rarely have to use the small chainring, don't miss the granny gear at all. Enjoy, it's a Rolce Royce groupset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbean Posted November 5, 2010 Share You can get 10sp gripshift if you are willing to pay an arm and a leg for it. Edited November 5, 2010 by stringbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHed Posted November 5, 2010 Share I'm running XO grip shift on my XX cranks, works perfectly, much better than the triple blade. Although I am still running the XO rear derailleur and cassette. Edited November 5, 2010 by HammerHed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
