I think it's a 50/50 split , I really want to run the kit that's more reliable on the bike as its going to be a every day bike for the chase .
Would a 9 speed cassette fit an 8 speed hub ? As I would go open if that's the case , I fancy a three ring crank but run a bash ring to complete the look of the trials set up i want to pull off.
Can you get a bashring for a compact xt chainset or even the xt with the out board b/b set up ?
