My bike is a creaking mess when I pedal and the gears slip up a lot so I've decided to invest in a new drivetrain. My current setup is from a 2004 P.3 so I'm ready for something fresh. I want to stay on a decent budget but I don't want crappy stuff either.
And I've never shopped for the components of a drivetrain so I want to make sure everything I have picked out here is compatible.
My crank arms are Truvativ Holzfeller and I would like to keep those, as nothing is wrong with them.
All of this will be going a 2006 Transition Preston FR.
Currently on Bike:
Front Derailleur: Shimano M-570 LX, top pull
Rear Derailleur: Shimano M-750 XT, short cage
Shift Levers: Shimano M-510 Deore
Cassette: Shimano HG-50 LX, 9-speed, 11x34t
Chain: Unknown type
Cranks: Truvativ Holzfeller 7050 ISIS spline, 170mm
Chainrings: Rockguard outer ring, 32Sx22S, 4 bolt 104/64mm compact
Bottom Bracket: Truvativ ISIS GigaPipe DH, 73mm shell width, 118mm spindle length, E-Type
Rear Hub: (for cassette reference - not changing hub) Shimano M-525
What I Want:
Front Derailleur: Sram X.7 (but which one from that drop down list?
Rear Derailleur: Sram X.7 (medium or long cage?)
Shift Levers: Sram X.7 Levers
Cassette: Sram PG-950 9 Speed 11x34t
Chain: Sram PC-951
Chainrings: Race Face Rings 4-Bolt 32Sx22S 104/64mm
Bottom Bracket: Race Face Evolve FR BB 68/73mm M12 Bolt
Aside from the shifting cables, I think that's it. The total cost as figured by JensonUSA.com is $273.90
Does everything on that list look okay?
Also, I have nowhere near the mechanical aptitude required to install all of this so I'll most likely just get a local shop to order everything and install it, as long as they can offer somewhat comparable pricing.
