Hi,
i am going to build a new xc bike.
but this bike is going to be my primary bike, i want to have a matching groupset. and my allowance to spend on this bike is quite big
i dont want to waste my money and get something i may not like.
i've sorted out a lovely pair of hope brakes,
im building a hope wheelset,
sorted carbon handlebars, stem and seatpost.
DMR V12's
now i am looking for a groupset, either 3x9 or 2x10, i am open to other options too, like srams new XX1 which is 1x11.
so my question is, performance wise, from an XC aspect what is better SRAM or Shimano? any suggestions on which one i should go with? i was thinking either Sram XX1, XX0, XX or X9 or Shimano XTR, XT and maybe Saint?
Facts and opinions?
