(And 4-bolt is yuck!)
If you're talking M952 XTR, the 5-bolt version is way, way, way cooler!

Sorry to all you '07 XTR boys - I just don't like it.

Agree with you on M960 and M970 XTR - hideous. And I know everyone thinks 5 bolt M952 is cooler, but they're wrong. And I am right. And that's that. It's just rarer and has bigger rings, so it's more 'subculture' and people are drawn to it's therefore not so Shimano-ness...

No need to be sorry. I'd be more happy to run Bullseye cranks set. Had them BITD. And the proof that they were so good is the fact that 07 Shimano is a copy. Why they took so long??? My bug with 07 is the tools needed and which shops keep and don't tell :twisted:

But thats bike shops for you.
