Right here.

Mostly excited about XTR brake performance at a cheaper price. I've grown to love the XTR stuff on my Trance X. The brakes especially.

just saw this, pretty rad.

I'm pretty excited to see if they managed to make the "on off friction stabilizer stupidity" thing on the xtr der work. If they did, it would actually be pretty cool.

Also, first time I've seen a price reduction on components.... well, really any bicycle product, in quite some time. Pretty rad. Makes me glad to have shimano on both my bikes.

Repost of a repost.

Did I mention the Black option rules?

 

[p-spec]

I dig the black,

theres a 2011 xtr equiped epiC at a lbs here,the brakes feel insane.

Seriously,I havn't felt something so perfect.

what's up with the fat hubs? Chub wannabe or generator?

 

[4130biker]

IceTech rotors in 6 bolts patern + blk as an optional color + stupid good new brakes+ selectable pivot for less chain slap + sick pedals = SHIMANO FOR THE WIN ...Wow !

I've been meaning to replace my brakes on my trail bike for some time now. I was thinking of the new XTR, but this is more up my alley. I've also been thinking of replacing my cranks, and these 2x seem like a perfect match... only thing is, they don't look like they'll take a bashguard. anyone know if they will? Even the 3x cranks don't look like they'll accept a standard aftermarket bashguard....

The 3x and 26/38 2x cranks use a 64/104 bolt pattern and will take a bash.

 

[marshalolson]

why are the xt pedals $20 cheaper than m985? that seems silly though.

but those brakes are MSRP $159 per wheel, no rotor? sick!

i wonder how that "on/off" switch will hold up

Kinda wonder about this one myself. Seems like if you run a single front ring, you'd just keep it on all the time except when your wheel needs to come out?

Yep. I imagine with that setup it would be really quiet

Great, another new part I must buy.

 

[w00dy]

New for '12, last year's XTR, now available in gray!

Moar gears than your bike has room for!!!

 

[IH8Rice]

your parts are clearly out of date/style

 

[4xBoy]

I will down grade the current XTR derailleur to my Hardtail and upgrade my Trail bike that desperately needs that part.

Dynamo.

 

[4xBoy]

Dynamo.

Damn. Now I gotta watch this tonight... Buzzsaw FTMFW.

I could have waited a while fot XT Trail... but, well, XTR is a bling

performance knob...

 

[frango]

I wonder how will ppl use the "performance/silent knob"?...
"Oh... a rock garden... Guys! Wait! I just have to switch the knob on my RD"

 

[amishmatt]

Maybe they'll make a handlebar mounted remote to actuate the knob. You know, to go with the 17 other remotes on the handlebar.
