Retro Newbie
Hi Alll I have a complete restored stock Marin Riftzone 1997 its in perfect condition and been refurbed back to stock, However I want to do a couple of upgrades and I want to start with the front groupset, should I go XT or Raceface?? what is more hardy for offroad and small DH ?

Many Thanks...

Jay
 
M735 through m737 XT were some of the most functionally excellent and bomb proof kit they ever made, especially their cranksets.

Raceface are decent, but you need to get the forged versions and won't 'work' on a rift zone IMO.

Agreed ... The XT737 crankset is the most underrated crank out there. The rings are tough and Ed have all the modern shifting tricks of modern day rings. They are light to - lightest shimano crank ever I think.
