shimano deore vs shimano xt? question
"Small Black Dog" skrev i en meddelelse ... have a deore crank on my bike, its only a few months old. i got an xt crank for about $80.00. is it worth the upgrade. i smashed my truvativ and replaces with deore which seems heavier. thus is it worth the $$$ to upgrade to the xt thanks Upgrade to the XT. Deore cranks are relatively heavy compared to the XT and the XT is stiffer. I would go for RF Prodigy, it same price as the XT, but you dont have to use Shimanos stinky Bottom Brackets. There is a lot of nice ISIS BBs out there :-) And yes, its worth the upgrade. Also put it like this: would you ride a crapped up Lada when you have an Aston Martin Vanquish sitting in your garage? Depends on gas prices? Peet |

I think he's allready bought the XT crank though. Also put it like this: would you ride a crapped up Lada when you have an Aston Martin Vanquish sitting in your garage? Depends on gas prices? if you can afford a Vanquish you can afford the petrol, i hope. Small Black Dog |

Or, ride the XT until it's thrashed, then you have a spare crankset so you're not out any cash. Spider |
