Shimano XTR M960 - 4arm - Inner Chainring Features: Replacement inner chainring for the XTR M960 Hollowtech II crankset. 7075 aluminum Note: When using M960 24T you will also need... more...to use a W-Type middle ring
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.

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 ...

Advantages: Top of the range "bling" rear mech Disadvantages: 9 speed "only", superceeded by RD-7800 10-speed version
= easier pedalling, smaller cog = faster.
Specifications:
- 8/9-speed
- Max. Sprocket (what's the biggest rear cog this mech can handle ?) 27 teeth
- Min. Sprocket (what's the smallest rear cog this mech can handle ?) 11 teeth
- Front Difference 14 teeth max - that's a maximum difference between the number of teeth on the big and small from chainrings, ie a 53 teeth "big" ring and 39 teeth small one will work fine, but won't work with a triple chainset
- Total Capacity 29T (that's the difference between teh big and small REAR gogs PLUS the difference between the big and small fromt chainrings)
- 11 tooth guide / tension (top/bottom) pulleys with sealed bearings reduce friction, run quieter and wear longer due to alternating tooth contact between inner and outer chain plates.
- Weight 195g
Setting it up was very simple, as ...
