Shimano PD-M770 XT SPD Pedal

October 28, 2008

What kind of racing? But sure, they are good for x-country, but not downhill of course.Also make sure you check out the Crank Brother's line of pedals. For x-country, nothing beats the Egg Beaters or Candy's.

Nice but Fragile

Shimano XT 9 Speed Cassette

Rating for this product: 4 October 21, 2008

I have gone through a couple XT cassettes which says two things. 1 - they are sweet, and they shift great. 2 - they are pretty fragile IMO. I had two cassettes and bent a cog on each one. And yes I know how to shift and I take care of my gear. But broken parts come with the territory on MTB. If my new one breaks, I will buy another one.

adidas adiStar Tech Cycling Short - Men's

October 20, 2008

I love Pearl Izumi but I also have a couple of Adidas shirts and shorts and they are great quality. Never had a problem with stitching or zippers. Back Country has an unlimited lifetime warranty so you've got nothing to lose.

Answer to: "What is the differance between GS and SGS and what should one"

Shimano XT RD-M770/M771 Rear Derailleur

October 15, 2008

The GS is a mid cage model and is designed to work with up to a 33 teeth rear cassette. The SGS is the long cage model and is designed to work with up to a 42 teeth rear cassette.If you're new to MTB and shifting, go with the long cage as you'll probably cross-shift a lot. Otherwise go with the mid-cage which is what most people run IMHO.

Answer to: "what is the lightest tubeless mtn bike tire"

Hutchinson Piranha Air Light Tubeless MBT - DO NOT USE

October 15, 2008

There are a lot of factors to consider here; mainly tire size and what you need it to do (x-country, downhill, etc.).I suggest you take a look at http://www.zinio.com/gncissue?is=280132649&ns=usa where they test 127 different tires and give their weights.That said, don't worry about tire weight it's too stressful. Just skip dessert one night and you'll save the same amount of weight.

Answer to: "Will these work with XT levers?"

Shimano XTR Hydraulic Disc-Brake - Calipers

October 7, 2008

They will work with newer XT hydraulic levers. You have to check Shimano's website though as they made some changes a few years ago. I do not think the early hydraulics (XT or XTR) are compatible with the newer calipers.
