GREAT looking bikes. I especially like the Stumpjumper. I am partial to Specialized because my #2 is an 87 Stumpjumper.
My #1 is a 88 Rockhopper. I ride with a “Shimano CN-HG71 6/7/8-Speed Chain” and “Shimano CS-HG41 Cassette - 7 Speed, 11-28t” – but I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW if there is a better 7-speed configuration!
FAVOR: Does the “Deore XT HG90 7Speed Cassette” shift better that the “Shimano CS-HG41 Cassette”?
