It may be a repost, but am I the only one who think the updated X9 are sh1t?

No more heavy duty plastic cage, Low bolt is limiting the High and the cable is behind the body.

Please SRAM...

never had a issue with anything else but the cable routing. its a PITA having it behind the body.
thankfully the 2011 products have the cable back to where its been for years.

Nope, you aren't the only one :)
The spoked wheels also suck. They collect mud and will shatter if they hit something.

The new (top) cable route was to keep the end from entangling in the paralellogram which did occasionally happen with the old ones. Most people wouldn't even notice save for a frayed cable and a bad shift somewhere on the ride, but in a race... it might matter.
