First Impressions: Shimano XTR M970
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
I am more interested in these...
My hope is this brings down the price of SRAM components a touch, which will make buying for my project that much easier.
With the current state of affairs. I wouldn't expect prices on anything bike related to go down. Shipping and the cost of manufacture of everything has increased. Currently with the cost of aluminum, chromium, magnesium, titanium, and most of metals that go into the manufacture of a bicycle increasing. I would most certainly expect prices to go up. Hell the conflict in the middle east will even increasre the price of oil enough that even the plastic bits will cost more.robdamanii said:
That and folks are buying more bikes. Atleast at my shop. Families need to find cheap forms of entertainment. After the initial costs cycling is over the long run pretty affordable.
It's definitely neat, but never would I purchace such a thing.
I'm definately interested in anything that's not flippy-lever or rapid-rise related.
I'm still running all M952, and have been waiting for them to get their heads out of their asses...
The new stuff seems nice, I'd like to try it out myself.

carpal tunnel inducing grips... is that a FVCKING PHONE attached to that ridiculous, indecisive motherfarker of a stem? Cable lockout on the fork? PULEEEASE.
Not to mention the new Dual Control Shyte is eye-searingly ugly. They can take that shyte and fark back off again.
