Shimano M975 XTR RT97 Centre-Lock Disc Rotor

Shimano XTR M970 SPD pedal

Advantages: quality, use, price
Disadvantages: None

Previously, I had a pair Of Ritchey WCS Ti spd pedals (i paid £60 on ebay, but the retail at £140!!). These were next to useless - the bearings failed within 12 months. They looked good and weighed not a lot, but didn't work very well, at all :O( I begrudgingly purchased the XTR spd's for £56.99 from wiggle, as I didn't want to go the "shimano" route again. First impressions of quality were superb, especially for under £60!!! The smoothness of the bearings is silk like. fitting is just like any other pedal. Adjusting the tension springs was also the same as any other spd, although I didn't have to do them as tight as previoud spd's I'd owned. Clicking in and out of the pedal gave a satisfying quality click. In riding i've done so far, they perhaps clogged more than i'd have liked, but the riding was very very extreme. After ...

Review of Shimano M970 XTR MTB SPD Pedals

ooohhh Baby OR oooow Baby

Advantages: Dam fine der' son,
Disadvantages: Dam fine der' son, can I av a go Mr !! (x200)

ooooh Baby OR oooow Baby, precisely the derailleur of your dreams and I don?t think there?s many that would argue this. But what are its benefits and what if any are its draw backs??. Because I like confrontation especially when it surrounds mountain bikes I?ll start with negatives. It?s a magnet for Crime, even the slackest bike thief knows that XTR means Money, he may not know that it?s the only bit on the bike worth nicking but you can be dam sure he?ll take the whole lot rather than undo, and you and I both know what a bummer it is to get a derailleur off when you?ve ridden it for ages. Ok number 1 over is that it your saying! I can cope, I?d never leave my precious bike un-attended. Well, lets see can you afford to repair it after a smash worse still buy a new one !!!!, remember its top of the range don?t buy it and replace it ...

Review of Shimano XTR

Shimano SPD M072 Cycle Shoe to infinity and beyond

Advantages: Strong, well made, functional
Disadvantages: Nothing yet.

SPD INTRO Shimano M072 shoes are SPD cycling shoes so here's a quick explanation of what SPD is. For those who may not know SPD stands for Shimano Pedaling Dynamic. All very nice I hear you say, so to explain they are Clipless pedals. Basically you get a pair of shoes, bolt on some clips to the shoes, get a pair of SPD pedals which are like a clamp, step on the pedals and your feet are locked to the pedals. Rotating your feet to the side then releases you from the pedal. (not as dangerous as it sounds). GENERAL Shimano mountain bike shoes have been around for a number of years now and in my opinion if you are a user of SPD pedals then you can't beat Shimano PSD shoes for reliability. I have used number if different types over the years, most of which I cant remember the name off and ones that usually found the bucket because they ...
