XTR then sell the chainrings maybe? Or if you mean chainset, XT then sell chainrings and replace with a double.

Unless you're talking about a road double.

Or you don't want hollowtech.

Maybe a bit more info?

Deore HT2 is perfectly fine. SLX / XT if you want something posher. The Deore is pretty light as the arms are heavily scolloped out on the back. They do flex a little though, & obviously not as well finished as the more expensive options. I'd be speccing SLX if buying new. XT (for me), isnt worth £50 more than Deore.

SLX is really nice. I think it's stiffer than my old XT and looks cool.
