the best $165 upgrade(at least, in the shoes of)


eight gears in the rear !!! isn't it all that we really need ? Well maybe not, but just in case you're needing a drivetrain that lasts MUCH longer and is more durable, then you owe it to yourself to reconsider the temptation of 9 thinner, punier gears. The recipe to endurance: XTR M900 11-32 cassette, Sram PC68 chain, and Shimano XT M748 shifter pods OR play the part of the serious retro grouch and run a set of Deore or XT thumbies (yes the 7spd shifters with the hidden 'ghost eighth'). You really owe it to yourself and you'll thank me for it later ; )
