Cheaper than £32 delivered anywhere?
go for xt. lighter, cheaper, more durable.
That was not the question tho 😡
just bought 2 XT for £61.93delivered from wooly hat in light of impending price rises
think that is what i will do
slight hijack - I've got a barely used XT for £20 delivered if you'd like it...

bought 2 new and 3 chains from wooly hat shop for 84 quid 🙂
Wooly hat - which you can find on eBay. I got mine for £32.
ir-bandito - if racing ralph doesn't want it, I'd be very interested. Mail me at boriselbrus(AT)yahoo.com if still available.
Sorry for hijack.

Woollyhatshop seem to have put up their prices.

Boris - ygm
As an example of how ridiculous parts prices now are,I worked out the cost of replacing a complete XT drivetrain:
Outer ring for an XT M770 is now £97.Middle is £36.20,inner is £14.67,cassette is £78.29 and chain is £36.20.(All rrp)Thats £260!!!
As much as we love our bikes,culd you really justify the cost?
Woolyhathsop must have put up their prices during the day today! I got mine at £29.95 this morning, just noticed they are now £39.99
arrrggghhhhhh,
been umming and arrring about getting an xt cassette and xt chain from merlin for the last week
i think i talked myself into it and was gonna do it tomorrow,
not anymore 😥
like maverick said: You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.

I can see more people going to SLX or Deore if the prices keep rocketing. Yeah, they are a bit heavier, but at those prices....
😯
rubbish. i sold a set of XT chainrings a couple of months ago for £35! wanted the chainset for my ss. Should have held on to them for spares!
SRAM PG980 is almost the same weight as XT, and can be found a little more cheaply at the moment.
but not as many sprockets are mounted on a carrier - a considerationf or alloy freehub users
new XT is actually 256 grams as opposed to 280gram and 276 grams for the 990 and 980 respectively 11-32
How does SLX compare to XT weight wise.Its stillan alloy carrier so can`t be much more?
