Hey guys, long time reader but new forum member. Just need a quick sanity check on modern kit (been out of it for 10 years!) Grateful for any advice.
Picked up a pre-CEN Inbred in the sale this week. I was going to do a mix of Deore/XT drivetrain but can see some great deals on SLX 10spd for not much more. Ignoring the "what is SLX for?" debate for a sec., can you forsee any frame clearance issues at either end with this setup? (i.e. 30spd SLX.) Any gotchas - I see people sometimes winge about chainrings clearing the chainstays on these frames???
I don't need SLX but I work in a techie field so it will annoy me not to attempt to be future-proof; basic research suggest mixing Deore front end w/SLX 10 rear would be a massive no-no?
Cheers for any help.
SLX is fantastic. Best value for function IMO.
Should be no problem fitting it to your frame other than the clearance though that's more something to watch out for other than a problem.
