Looking to buy a groupset .....
I need:
Both Mechs
Shifters 9/10 speed
Cranks
Chain*
Cassette*
*Only if I go 10 speed
Looking around it seems an XT groupset can be bought for circa £269 with an SLX groupset coming in at circa £219.
Apart from the £50 difference in price is there much else in it?
I would prefer to stay 9 speed but I realise that 9 speed is is priced so closely to 10 speed (in some cases more) that a move to 10 speed seems a sensible jump price wise.
Can anyone advise/help/guide etc.
Cheers,
Mark
XT will be slightly lighter.
SLX will be slightly stronger.
you choose.
However, 3x10speed FTW. with an 11-36 out back I'm amazed at how utterly brilliant my 10 speed set up is. Way more versatile than 3*9. The real world difference is more than it appears on paper.
