|   Are the SRAM X.0 shifters and derailleur worth it? | Dave_R
Dec 13, 2002 3:27 PM | | I just had a serious wreck and broke one of my SRAM 9.0 shifters (along with a few other bike and body parts). I'm wondering if it is worth upgrading to the new SRAM X.0 shifters and derailleur. They look killer, but do they really perform that much better than a 9.0 or a 9.0SL?
Thanks

I knew the SRAM shifted better than anything Shimano, but the XO really puts a stamp on it. |

function also. Waitin' for Jenson, Cambria, etc. to drop the price on
them before I can shell out. Hey, maybe my new rd will get boogered up
on a rock'er sumthin'.
SRAM Rocks!! |
