Subject: RE: T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challengewgraves7582 - 2010-03-22 5:15 AM Time to talk to LBS about some new gears for the mtn bike - contemplating a 2x up front instead of 3x. I'm not a huge fan of the XX system. I run Sram XO on my bike, so the weight savings to the XX is minimal. And, for me, since I don't have quads the size of tree trunks, I still would need the smaller gearing combination. Unfortunately, that means I have to sacrifice top end. Not to mention, the cost! New cranks, cassette, chain, and shifters, ouch! Just my two cents. I know you have a SS in the arsenal, so it probably isn't a big deal for you. |
