What!! Still no A-headset in your 'Groupset' Shimano?

I wont be ordering any time soon.

Poor Shimano doesn't like it when it can't bully other companies I'll be staying with SRAM

Looks good but I wish they would offer a nice short cage mech

i thought they would of had a carbon crank

M950 looks better and performs just as well I'll warrant They can keep it I have an m970 rear mech and while it is light it is not a patch on my M950 group for shifting And strangely I am pleased about that :?

shimano m970 32 replacement chainring £150

thats what i paid for for my m900 chainset back in the day

interesting to see what the m980's ring will cost with that fancy design.


i suppose if you have the cash its all irrelevant.

At least it is at least part of the way back to the nice "delicate" look that XTR used to have. Those rear deraileurs with the X pattern were horrible looking things.

I thought the 970 X pattern rear mech looked alright. This new one looks horrible. The cage looks like cheap pressed steel crap!!!

Oh and 10 speed, why? I guess its because it's 1 better!!!
