[Closed] Considering changing back to gripshift after 15 years am i mad?

epo-aholic · 2012-02-27T17:26:14Z

Currently i'm pondering the set up for my race bike for the forthcoming season and i keep coming back to running 1x10 changing from xtr to xo or xx and using gripshift as i find shifting with pods difficult when fatigued. i spent all winter running 1x9, 34 up front and 11-34 out back and i really cant think of a time i didn't have the correct gear and i dont see that being any different whilst racing. Someone mentioned you can get an extra click out of the XO 9 speed units but i believe SRAM will release a 10spd version this year anyway, Is anyone running this and whats your thoughts? also unsure if i stick to 34/11-34 or go to 36/11-36, any thought thee too? Thanks in advance.

I run grip shift on my main two bikes X-0 and X-9. I find they make nice crisp shifts, work better in gloop than my old shimano set up. The only problem I've had is that they don't seem compatible with some brake levers.
