I've been biking for a long time and have been using XT shifting gear for years now so I've seen several changes in design over the years...
This shifter has to be one of the best available as it brings together great looks, excellent performance and pretty good value for money and durability not to mention ease of set up and maintenance.
With competition increasing year on year from SRAM (the original manufacturers of the GripShift shifting system) it?s a good job Shaman aren't resting on their laurels. On the contrary, not only do Shimano mange to offer value and excellent shifting but they?ve also managed to design the unit so that it looks sleek and stylish on the bike.
Overall, highly recommended on both performance and value for money? ...
Advantages: built in external BB, good quality Disadvantages: None
I bought this to replace the SR Suntour cranks and stock Shimano Bottom Bracket on my Trek 4300.
A fantastic upgrade, extremely sturdy, nice stiff cranks, excellent machine work.
And to top it off, no internal Bottom Bracket is needed. Something I dont think a lot of the adverts for the item make enough of. You don't need to bother measuring your spindle as you just need to remove the entire bottom bracket and fit the M532 with the inbuilt external BB.
You will need additional tools to fit this, but they can be picked up relatively cheaply and you never need to worry about wearing out any bearings in the bottom bracket again.
It took me 15 minutes to fit, simply remove your old cranks, remove the BB and slot this in place. It comes with various spacers to adjust the width depending on your frame size and once fitted it ...
Advantages: XT could be the only buggy you ever need Disadvantages: Check and see if it is too high
children as I do - I have two chatterboxes. Chatterbox number 2 seems very comfortable and happy in the XT, and I would thiink it would last til the end of buggydom, hopefully next year some time.
Techno or Quest?
Now to come to the issue of quest versus techno - I love my quest, the only reason for me trying the techno being that it has taken a lot of abuse in five years. I am more used to pushing the quest, but have now used the xt a fair bit so here are my conculsions of what you get for the extra £50 or so, which could help a buying choice
- the techno is that bit more comfortable; the brakes actually work, which they don't really on the quest. Touches like the suspension are nice, bigger wheels mean it does glide along
- the techno is higher to push - by about 4cm, 108 as opposed to 104 cm handles. If you have a small ...
