I'll be sticking to XT which still makes me wince when I have to replace it. So the cassette (which I consider a consumable) is going to be about £220!!

(those splines add sooooo much weight) And will people stop bitching about 10 speed, no you don't *need* 10 speed cassettes (plenty of SSers will agree with you there) but 2x10 sounds a reasonable alternative to 3x9 if it's lighter and works just as well (aslong as 9spd spares are available for a good while). I wonder how many of the 10spd dissers have 6" travel "all mountain" bikes for nipping down the shops on... So will we be seeing XX specific hubs that are just splined at either end of the freehub?
