Hayyy... SRAM nalang kau...

Ok naman ang SRAM, pero mas ok ang bling factor ng Shimano

ganda talaga ng XT planning to change my fd and rd sa december. Went to a trail ride last saturday. medyo wet ang trail but sobrang ok ang kapit ng Maxxis maxxlite 310 sobrang lambot ng pedal ko.

yeah SRAM. masyadong common ang Shimano. though i use both.

i use SRAM RD for my full-suspension FR bike. i love those tough springs for the RD and 1:1 shifting and yes, those grip shift.

for my trailbike i use Shimano- it's kinda light and i love those trigger shifter.

Just had my RD changed to 08 XT. Erratic na yung shifting ng LX RD ko, malaki yung play ng mga joints, don't know what happened bakit nagkaganyan. Pero pwede pa daw gamitin kung hindi trigger shifter ang gagamitin, so I just left the RD at the bike shop para ibenta nalang.

parang pareho tayo iniisip...going to change my FD and RD with 08...ganda dahil meron black color. instead of getting an American Classic MTB 26 wheelset i might go with DT Swiss X455 rims, DT Swiss Revolution Spokes and Shimano XT 08 Hubs. yung saving pambayad na lang sa FD and RD

Ganda ng XT shifter...
