XC Pro, especially in Microdrive, was a piece of shit. It never stayed in adjustment, and when it did, it didn't shift anyway...

EDIT: Not a dig at you, reads like one though 😉

Those red brakes were M600s with paint on them, not proper Deore DX.

I just chucked out a set of DX low profile cantilevers( rusty springs)
The weird thing is, crap as they were, they had about ten times the braking power of the Avid shorty 6 canti thats on the rear of my cx bike.

Those truly are massive bar ends!

200GS? Oh if only. My Raleigh Highlander only had 100GS. 😳

They are rather large but were all the rage back then. I don't think I've ever really used them as it's unnerving reaching 3ft infront of the headtube!

Got a set of old wheels off my Trek 970 with DX hubs (7 speed of course) on Matrix rims (Trek in house brand before they bought Bonty). A 1.9 Specialized on the back and a 2.1 Ritchey on the front.

..but the shifters themselves were/are loverly. I'm still running a set (shifting an XTR mech on an XT 8 speed block). 16 Years old and still a nice positive accurate click shift
