I'm doing 150miles plus on mountain bike and getting some slipping on the gears and chain s worn out, so its that time again to replace the lot as its been a while, so im looking at the XTR range(is it wrong to get turned on by this stuff), is it really worth paying the money for it as need to replace all the drive chain mechs cog's chain the lot, but as you can imagine the wife took it really well!!! (once see came back around and I picked her off the floor), or shall I stop being dirty and look at something else? |

The XTS range is better for the bog standard daft "thrash round the woods" brigade...leave the XTR to those who are sponsored. I ride a Trek Remedy 9, great bike, but when I take a tumble, I check how much the damage done to the bike is going to cost, before I attempt to stop the blood flow !!! |
