Ok, here's what I need to replace on my demo 8:
Shifter
Rear derailleur
Cassette
Chain
If I had lots of money for this, I'd just buy x-9 everthing or Saint... but I'm on a bit of a budget, since I'm buying a new trail bike. I'm looking for suggested combos that you like, but fit the following:
-cheap
-light cassette
-8/9 speed- no care
-decent or good shifting
-somewhat durable
-medium or short cage
I know some have talked about 8 speed setups that are light and very positive shifting, but I have no clue where to start for that. I'm open to Shimano or Sram- thanks for any input!
(on yeah, i have a new 34t guidering to go with whatever I buy)
