[Closed] cheapest place for XTR?

the latest M970 stuff

- 32T chainring - £54 Merlin (M960)
- 32T chainring - £93.99 (M970)
- chain + 11-32 cassette - M970 £129.95 Merlin

thanks, CRC and Merlin are the cheapest I can find:
- 32T chainring = £94
- chain = £21
- cassette = £110

2008?

£94 for a chainring!!!

ridiculous isn't it - made of carbon comp and titanium
yep, M970 came out in 2008 I think

I think the chainrings are a strange offset too so I don't think you can use other manufacturers' rings - unless anyone knows of any?

M970 came out in late 2006/early 2007.

Surely the cheapest place is your sponsor? No?

was it that long ago?

it's these ones - is there anything newer?

anyone else?

I heard Lex's near Penistone was cheap but I've not been looking so you'd need to check it out yourself. [url= http://www.lexs.co.uk/ ]http://www.lexs.co.uk/[/url]

Yeah, it was that long ago. XTR generally on a four year cycle, so expect M980 to be out for the 2011 season.

TA chinook fit the 970 cranks, only the 22t ring has an offset.

ah, thanks.

I fitted a normal granny using some spacers and is fine; 44t chainrings are fine too though I had to take a fraction off the inside of the arms on mine using a dremmel.
