On older models, XT and XTR allows instant shifter release, meaning the chain drops right after the shifter lever is pressed before returning, but Deore shifter lever has to return before chain drops. Something to note and I got the XT for this reason.

XT has always been my go-to drive-train and preferably the complete bike fitted like this. However in my newest bike I am actually mixing and matching components and it’s been interesting. Front meg is Deore. Rear meg is XTR. Breaks levers and calibers are Deore but shifters XT because of their added functionality and crisp feel. My honest opinion is that Shimano is over complicating things. Deore is fine for most, but bikesnobs like me ride XT (because it’s cooler and because we finally can afford it and a set of carbon wheels) XT is a hell of a nice group set. XTR are for pros where seconds matter. SLX to me is the odd one out, just like the 105. Almost but not really...

@andreaslange8256

Жыл бұрын

I think the SLX does an important job. It allows a beginner to choose to go low-cost on the first hand (Deore) or to spend a little more (SLX), just to show some extra commitment, reflecting the own positive expectations about the new hobby. On the other hand, same goes for most routined riders, not those few likely to go for XTR: Choice between XT (best with still reasonable price point) or budget-friendly, but more than decent (and not beginner model) SLX. Having such options to choose makes customers happy, and happy customers buy stuff.

@@andreaslange8256 Shimano clearly must succeed greatly with their strategy, since they would not be doing it if it didn't pay off. How ever I am not sure consumers are benefitting. Huge production and developing costs lays hidden in having to produce so many different components and I think Deore and XT could both become more affordable IF the development of SLX was cut out. I do how ever find Shimano a democratic and fair company in the sense that they have allowed compatibility within the whole Deore Eco-system. That in itself is quite amazing that you can mix from all tiers of their product range and not have to commit exclusively to one group-set. Smart choice undoubtedly as it gives customers the option to upgrade and bike shops the possibly downgrade and flash a high-end rear meg to make the whole package seem greater value. That along with a set of entry level tires (which in my humble opinion should be banned as they are waste of money) and we're in business!

Yep, definitely best bike shop ever doesn’t just sell bikes but also give us all the updates/information we need to know about.

Nice to see that SLX cranks are still lighter than XT, (this trend goes back at least 2-3 generations.) And it still looks like a mix of SLX/XT is still a nice balance between cost and features. (I'm trying SRAM on my new build, but still running a XT/SLX/Saint/Zee mix on my 26" bike and 105/XT/SLX/Zee on my road bike.)

Shimano seems to refer to these as; Doere, SLX, "Deore XT", & XTR. Throwing the "Deore" in on the XT name feels like Shimano is actively trying to confuse us. Thank God for WWC for helping demystify this stuff!

Old school equivalent of Deore LX, Deore DX, Deore XT and XTR

I can say from experience the ‘feel’ between the groups is the biggest change between them outside of the weight. Crispy shifts are important for quick riding. The SLX and Deore can feel plastic-like and kind of hollow. Whereas the XT & XTR is actuated almost immediately with a firm click of the shifter. It can be related to manual transmissions between cars that are basic daily drivers, and sports cars or ones with a short throw shifter. In a sporty / aggressive situation, you’re gonna want those immediate, quick and crispy shifts!!

@QoraxAudio

2 жыл бұрын

That immediate and smooth actuation of the derailleur can be achieved on those cheaper ones too, but it requires a lot more maintenance to keep it that smoothly because they're made to less tight tolerances... there's more drift, so you need to readjust things more often and perfect lubrication plays a way bigger role compared to the higher end ones.

@@imranvp I didn't switch but I did ride a buddy's Ibis Logo hubs recently. Those are 36T hubs, so 10* of rotation between teeth (360* / 36T = 10*). That free rotation between teeth means that you will feel the pedals/cranks spin freely before the pawls engage and drive the rear wheel to get you going. There will also be a noticeable clunk. This will only be noticeable when starting from a standstill, pedaling again after slow speed coasting, ratcheting cranks through slow technical sections, etc. None of this is a big deal when you're first starting out (or ever for some people) but it can be noticeable if you're used to something with higher engagement (more teeth/less free rotation). In my case, I have i9 Hydras (0.5* or whatever) and Onyx Classics (0* due to sprag clutch instead of ratchet-pawl). Hope that helps.

Deore M4100(10s 11-46)/M5100(11s 11-51) are also available and for standard freehub. Or M6100 and Sunrace/SRAM 12s cassette If you don’t want to change freehub. Shimano released a Microspline freehub with the Deore 12 speed. FH-MT410/FH-MT410-B for about $/£30 and uses cartridge bearings. I had my wheel rebuilt using one of these until I buy a new wheel set

You can use SRAM NX cassette, it works with retro shimano (unlike shimano).

You can get a 12 speed sunrace cassette that will work

Thanks for this. Basically, one should get an SLX drivetrain with XT shifter. Best price/funct/weight ratio, imo.

Thank you for the education

honestly, not much people will notice/need xtr stuff. slx cassete xt shifter and derailer and slx cranks maybe eaven deore doesnt matter as much

I'd say that an XTR shifter is worth it, with an XT derailleur, an Deore casette, and a Deore crankset would be the best performance/lifespan ratio.

The selection of aftermarket carbon cranks is a lot better for the Shimano BB standards vs SRAM Dub, just sayin ;)

Meanwhile i'm using shimano's alivio lmao

I'm using M6100 crankset, RD & shifter, mixed with M7100 cassette & chain. Works like a charm. So smooth.

great video! i'm currently in the planning process of my Marino chromoly hardtail, and i was actually planning on going with the Deore groupo to begin with, but now that I know it's under $300, i'm totally sold on it. i don't think there really is ANY bad Shimano groupset. my 2x Acera is still a pretty decent, smooth shifting drivetrain and i'm pretty sure it would cost less than Deore 1x.

My 2006 Sram X0 downshifts 3 gears at a time

Yeah I don't get the limited shifts and then it's only 2? I could swear my old 90's XTR reversed 9 speed could do 3 as well. I just want that thing back.

That’s going down the gears, I think he said it the wrong way round, you can do lots of shifts down, from the little one to the bigger ones, but can do only on on up on SRAM stuff, 1-12

You can go down 3, and up 2. Eagle can go down 5 and up 1. Eagle Grip shift can go 11 up and 11 down
